Thanks for your effort, I owe you one!

I am surprised, in fact astounded, that these lights do not have any translucent cover. When I have cleared my current list of jobs I will have to sort out the boot light, preferably before Winter. I may just go along by wiring up a quality switch tripped by the boot hinge mechanism. The mercury ones often gave trouble tripping in when the car was on a steep incline.

I am intrigued as to how you know the light was coming on in the boot on a steep incline. Did you have someone in the boot just for the purpose of checking for you.

The problems I experienced (on R-R/ Bentley) revolved around the light NOT working when the boot lid was opened. Not very convenient on a winters night

The advantage here was that I was not required to be locked in the boot and we used disposable apprentices for such checks when needed !
