Top thread though - gave me the inspiration to fix a non-locking boot that I've put u[ with for a year !

Thanks for your post - Timberpolka - a Canadian lumberjack dancer?
I've solved the reason why my tailgate lock only worked intermittently
The loom of wires had been tied up very tightly with a cable tie
just in front of the n/s tailgate gas strut
When I exposed the wires two were completely broken
a thick black and a I think a pink and black stripe
Joined the two back together and everything works fine
Apart from now the alarm sensor on the dash flashes very quickly for 15secs
when I turn on the engine
It says there a problem with the alarm or the immobiliser
Think I better check back there aren't any more broken wires
or that I pushed the loom connector back securely
Anyway to you all in forum land -
keep the info coming - as it's a source of invaluable help to everyone
