Boot release kaputt

[Cotswold Pete]

Just discovered the drive boot release button no longer working.  

Seems like it just 'flops about'.  Is it a cable release behind, and is it easy(ish) to get to see what has 'broke' without major pulling apart of the lower half of dash.

It's not a big deal, as the remote key still unlocks boot, but is handy about 2 or 3 times a year to be able to just pull that little tab when the missus needs to get something quick.

Any advice appreciated

The whole unit comes out but be careful u don’t brake the clips.  It could just be a loose connection so when you pull it out just push all the connections in.

Ifty,

When you say the unit comes out, is it just a case of easing it out from the front of the lower dash.
