Boot lock

[X4MGS]

If its a genuine one - Take it off and grease up the spring and mech...

If it's a copy - Bin it and get an Original one...

A common problem for the boot lock not working properly, can be the little white clip, that is attached to the opposite end of the rod coming from the C/L unit in the tailgate, this clip should be mounted securely to the rod, so it moves with it, but over time, the clip can become loose, and the rod passes straight through it, giving the impression that its actually working OK, when in fact its doing nothing!

Thanks got the central locking sorted.  Need to get some decent adhesive to resticj the rear roof lining back on, any suggestions?  Also checking levels, I find it very hard to see the fluid levels as the plastic i presume has aged and is less translucent, particularly coolant and brake levels.

I'm having the exact problem with mine but I don't have central locking.
The key won't turn in the lock to lock it.

Will the problems mentioned be the same with mine?
Is it mechanically broken or would it be seized?

You'd need to strip it down and look - but sounds like something is broken or missing...

Do you have another pic, showing the clip that sits on the end of the CL operating rod for the tailgate?
