Many thanks for posting details of how to open reluctant boot on the Octavia Estate. Managed to get in, release the boot and with a liberal application of the patented magic oil (available from me at £30 per tin or any good hardware shop at about £3.50, code name for oil is Whisky Delta Four Zero) we now have a fully operational boot again (the Labrador was enjoying the fun though). Will post with any other hints and tips I can come up with...

He was in there for only about 3 minutes, then I opened the rear seat and crawled through to release the harness, then the daft sod sat on me! Typical super friendly Lab, he then refused to come out the new exciting way! Anyway we got it all sorted and now I give it a weekly spray of WD40, so simple! This site has saved us pounds!
