cheers guys

i do have a problem already,well several actually lol but the big one at the mo is i cant get in the boot.
the lock itself has been screwdriver'd at some point so doesnt work with the key,ive tried a screwdriver myself but the lock wont turn. the central locking is moving the arm in the boot, but the boot wont open and when i push the boot lock itself there is no pressure, anyone got any ideas of what i can do

thanks

depends on what number plate surround you have if you have the single black strip that goes across the top of the boot you will be able to take that off and the two number plate lights which will leave you a couple of holes along the boot you should then be able to put a screwdriver through and manually push the catch to release the boot. hope this helps

cheers, gonna try it tomorrow, on the plus side ive replaced the bulbs in the cluster, so i now can see what speed im doing lol

spent far to many hours trying to get the boot open, i cant access it though the number plate light.
ive managed to get to the rod that would release the boot normally from inside the car, but it wont budge

if i undo any of the screws in the pic below do you think it will open that way
