boot lock not working

[duffy78]

my boot lock has stopped working,

total kaput, no noise at all when lifting the catch.

has anyone experienced this before?

anyone know of a way of manually opening the boot?

I think that there is a plastic catch/trim on the middle of the bootlid trim (inside the car). It has a picture of the car with the boot open on it. I guess maybe you could pull that to open the boot? Maybe check the handbook first.

You will need to fold the rear seats to gain access to it.

Bloody 'ell!!

I could have let you have my mint old one for £40 was that fitted ?

[duffy78]

that was fitted, i though it was quit reasonable as the local steelers when discussing what it could be with me went on with "well we'll take the tailgate off......blah blah blah, £100 for the part........blah blah blah, might be two days worth of work in it."

Fitted is reasonable as it took me about an hour...and I'm no technician
