Evening guys,
The other day I went to open my boot like usual and found that it wouldn't allow me. When pushing the button in, it doesn't engage like it normally does.
Tried locking and unlocking several times using different methods but nothing worked, the boot lock seems to be stuck closed.
Any tips? Maybe it's just a broken wire somewhere?
Cheers all.

I had the exact same problem a few weeks back did you try and unlock it with the key by any chance?
If you did just lock the doors with the key go to boot turn the lock anti clockwise with the key go back to front door and unlock as usual should unlock the boot then!

Maybe the rod came off the latch, you'll have to climb through the back seat and open it manually flick the latch to open it and see what's up

Spray some silicone ore other lubricate stuff from the outside to the inside and itt shoud work, i hade the same problem and after a time there is some white coming upp in the inside off the lock.
The lock on and off wil then stop upp.

I had the same problem, i thought the rod may have come off the back. Turns out it was the latch itself, it was really worn and just slipped.
