How To Open A R33 Boot

[WHITER33GTS-T]

A friend has a R33 that she recently bought. The key doesnt unlock the boot and the boot release lever is broken. How can we get the boot open. I pulled the back seat out of mine and can reach thru with a long flat screwdriver and open mine. Tried the same thing with her car and it wont open.

Any ideas...?

Grab release cable with pliers if its broken @ the cabin end, last resort drill out the barrel.

Tried pulling the release cable. Wont budge.

Inside the boot lid there are 2 bolts that hold the latch to the lid. What would happen if these were undone..?

The boot should probably pop open..

or from in the cabin.. pull the cable tight as you can and then pull the inside metal cable.. my daily ford bonnet cable broke and to open it i had to pull it tight then try pull the metal cable..

The inner cable just snaps again. lol

does the key turn in the lock at all? if the key turns but the boot simply doesn't release then you may need o have someone pull up hard on the boot while you turn the key.

ended up undoing the bolts that hold the latch to the boot lid. Found a small gas bottle and a fishing rod. lol
