Smile Locked Boot Lid

I have just repaired the boot lid which was locked and could not be opened.

1. Lowered the back seats and crawled into the boot.
2. Removed lining - not easy but with care quite possible
3. Unscrewed 3 bolts retaining the lock; this allowed the lid to be opened a little.
4. Pulled out connector and disconnected wires enabling the boot to be opened completely.
5. Discovered a green/white wire which had broken; temporary repair enable the lock to work and be released.
6. Repaired wire and reassembled.

Took about 2 hours and reading the other blogs seems to have saved £600.
