Mine stopped working for a bit. There is a little latch along the back wall of the boot. I was told to flick that up by a friend, and then it worked after that, dont know if its a similar issue.

I can't tell what I'm supposed to be looking at in your photos, but how does someone bend their boot lock mechanism?

The 'little latch' is there to disable the boot being opened via the lever in the cabin.

the car had a hit in the rear about 3 years ago

and since then every now and then the boot latch becomes funny

Yeah, I wasnt aware of that for a while. Thought the cable had snapped or something. Spent a month opening the boot using the key all the time.

just bend it back abit the lock mechanisim, till it locks properly thats what i did to mien also adjusted the bottom also by bending it also its easy simple fix unless hold thing is stuffed

[paulr33]

all sorted - the mechanism is ok it just slips down as one of the bolts is cross threaded

thanks guys
