Are you delocking the bootlid afterwards?

If so, use the MK1 Orion boot release. It will mean making to small slots @ the edge of the hole in the tailgate where the latch passes through.

You simply fit the Orion release, gently tap the latch downwards so that it sits @ the same angle as the original one (otherwise it will not line up with the striker on the rear panel) and then wire it straight up. 1 wire for earth, 1 for switch.

The other ones you describe work on a "push" effect rather than a "pull" effect like the Orion one, so connecting them up is a little more difficult.

Choice is yours though.

YOu can use a 106 or saxo centeral locking motor and if your smoothing the tailgate totaly use the rear wiper wiring to save running new wires.
