i had this very same problem. i just ignored it and after 2 months it started working again. i was well chuffed. but if you shut the boot hit the badge on boot then try and lock it might work. well it worked for me

I have this problem now. At first I couldn't open the boot, now it wont lock. It does shut, but when I lock the car the boot doesn't lock.
Is this an expensive job to fix
Cheers

Had it on my first clio, got it done under warranty but I'm sure it's not expensive and fairly simple to do yourself. Search the guides section I think there is one describving how to do it.

I faced this problem a while back, basically I took off the plastic shield from the boot to see all of the mechanism etc. Theres a metal rod that is used to lock and unlock the boot (it slides from side to side), there's one screw used to fix the piece it goes through to the car, if this is too tight/loose the rod won't push/pull.

If this fails then I don't know tbh, or if you need any further info PM me.

Id also try unclipping the mechanism plug too and cleaning the connectors with some WD40 and a cloth before forking out for a new motor.

Might solve it.

If I've found the right invoice the part number is R82 00 060 917, price was £46.01 inc. VAT when I bought mine back in 2008.

I had the same problem... Just got a new boot lock from someone on here and that worked fine... No idea if I could have fixed it but nice and easy to change them over.

The little black box with the piece able to push in/out facing towards the near side of the car?

That was the reason my mates wasn't locking, he didn't have one! lol
