Omendata Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I found on mine that the bolts work loose at the front top edge of the roof where it meets the front windscreen. Also the rear ones (where the little hood-strings attach) can get bent or loose a retaining bolt - either way it will be one or the other - alarm going off is usually down to the switch in the boot detecting the hood cover is not closed properly but usually fails because water gets into it and it can be a real pain to fault find as it can measure ok with a multimeter yet intermittently fail - its also very poor quality - best bet is to replace it but check your roof connectors - if one side isnt fitting then one of the retainers/connectors will either be bent or have lost its bolts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omendata Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 It may be the fuel pump - they are real pieces of crap in the Streetka and fail especially if you are the sort of person who drives the car with not a lot of petrol in the tank as the fuel pump needs the fuel to keep cool. Good luck , hope it doesnt cost too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
