Manual Boot Release Stopped Working? Help...

[karlp606]

Hey guys,

As title suggests the boot release next to the petrol cap lever has stopped working, when I lift it I can hear it pulling at the back of the car but the boot is not coming up, boot lid works fine with the key fob but don't want to be turning off the engine every time I need to get into the boot, anybody else had an issue with lever and know how to fix? Is it something simple? Like me :P....

might be some thing stupid open the boot with the fob put the fob back in your pocket and zip it up ( trust me ) take the boot lining off and see if the cabe is still attached to the lock Mechanism

Hi mate just checked the wire is intact at both ends and is control the brass mechanism in the boot lid but for some reason it's just opening the boot catch? It looks as though it could be something to do with the connection between the brass mechanism and the actual catch? Any more ideas pal?

SORTED! Found that if you turn the boot lock to the horizontal position this puts the boot in valet mode and can only be opened via the key not the lever! Yay

Thanks anyway mike :)
