My 197 boot release appears to be playing silly buggers.
In the past, pressing the unlock button on the remote a few times would be enough to open all the doors including the boot, as I found it necessary to click it a couple of times to open the drivers and passenger door.
Recently I noticed that I'd need to press it several times in quick succession to get the boot to open as the actual boot button wouldn't release it.
Today I can't get it to open at all. I don't know if it's the button unit itself that needs replacing or a seperate solenoid. If I could get the boot open I'd take it all apart and see what it all looks like.
Anyone had it apart to sort a similar issue? I hope the plastic panel comes off with the boot shut whilst laid in the boot from inside the car, otherwise mynext step is to hope that this weekend a multitude of locking and unlocking gets the thing open.
