The bloody boot catch next top the drivers seat has stopped working - i can hear clicking but the boot stays locked unless opened with a key - any ideas?

streched cable or its come out of its catch in the boot. check the cable is still attached to the lock

Mines the same Cable adjustment or as above check attachment to mechanism

I had same problem. cured by moving lock in boot down a little. Take off rear plastic cover in boot and lossen 3 bolts and move the lock down re tighten and check need to fiddle a bit but mines spot on now

thanks guys - will give it a try

 

dammit i love this forum

i had this problem with mine too,it wouldn't open on the lever but ok on the key. it turned out that the rear spoiler was water sodden and it was too heavy to pop up.as i had decided to ditch the rear spoiler and go smooth anyway i found that it popped up fine once the spoiler was off

interesting point as my spoiler is also fcked and it has been raining lots recently!! however even when i have a helpful assistant pulling the release catch at the same time i stil cant lift it up!

 

but good tip

also take the weights out the boot lid

Could be that there is not enough pressure in the boot stays to push up the boot that little bit...mine has same issue...
