Default Boot release
Im trying to work this out as its not working i took a video as i cant be in 2 places lol well i do know the release catch in the car works and at the other end the cable pulls the latch but when you close boot it doesnt open does it mean the mechanisim in the boot lid needs replaced .

Are you taking about opening the boot from inside the car?

There is a leaver on the boot mechanism that when switched, prevents the remote release inside the car working.

Check its not been inadvertently knocked, as it easy to do.

Is it not releasing at all or do you mean it won't pop up? I assume you've flicked the little latch on the boot lock mechanism as this locks out the in car release.

Cable is good can see the latch at the boot end moving everytime the boot lever is pulled unless there is something missing .
