Hi,

Yesterday I closed my boot as normal and when I went back to open it with the key again the key just turned but nothing happened.

I crawled through from the car and used a screwdriver to pop the catch from the inside. I can open the boot this way but the key just still turns in the lock.

Before I go taking it apart (won't have time until at least thursday due to work) is there anything obvious that it could be? Judging by the position of the key hole on the tailgate compared to the actual latch, I'm guessing there must be some sort of linkage between the two, could it be this?

PS - it's got central locking but AFAIK the boot must be opened by key, there's no boot popper button in the cabin.

Thank you and Merry Christmas
