Default Boot release

In car boot release had stopped working a while back, and hit it by accident last night while aiming for the windows, and it works again??

Sure these cars have a mind of thier own...

dont think it works if the car has been locked with the key, mine done this once and thought it was fubarred, locked the doors with key and unlocked them again and it was spot on after that.

Makes sense otherwise someone could bust the window then pop the boot and climb in/nick yer gear ... (they have deadlocking as std )

They must have been over-ridden then or the alarm remote release has done that, as they DO NOT work with IGN on from faxctory...
