My car's developed a similar but intermittent issue. The boot occasionaly won't open. When I try to open it when it plays up there's an electrical twitching noise from inside the boot mechanism as if it's trying to open but it doesn't release the lock.

I permanently have the message "BOOT LID OPEN" on the dash even when it's firmly shut. Does anyone agree that would mainly point to the locking mechanism itself? I presume that's where the micoswitch is located for detecting if the boot is shut or not.

Thanks,

Iain
