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.

The first thing to do before it fails completly is to replace the boot loom which goes into the car , it plugs in under the left side of the parcel shelf . About £30 from the dealer . They tend to break near the hinge after a lot of use .
