Good Evening All, I own a 18 plate SportLine which I love, but today, my boot failed to open. When I say failed to open, it will not unlock via the normal “click” of the remote. I don’t have the button by the gear lever. In addition, pushing the button under the tailgate doesn’t do anything. HOWEVER, if I hold down the boot button on the remote for about 10s, a thunk occurs and I can lift the boot lid. There is no normal pop and slight raising of boot lid as normal; just thunk. Once lifted, I can activate the lock by pushing into it with a screwdriver and again, a 10s hold on the remote will make it flick out. So, is the micro switch in the boot handle gone and need replacing? Given it opens with a long hold, I am guessing it’s not the motor mechanism or wiring fault but instead a switch in the boot lid handle? If so, what part do I need? Thank you in advance.
