ok, update time:
i've opened up the rear panel to sort the lock out and i've found a solinoid
but even though it's wired up, so it seems, thre isn't a button on the dash to press to open the boot
so where is it supposed ot be?
or is it supposed to have remote central locking and therefore should have a 3 button plipper key type thing?
and how do i find out?
