Here's what I would suggest...

1. Find a shovel.
2. Find the person who did this.
3. Ensure the shovel connects with the head of the person who did this.

Unfortunately, I've got no idea how to get into the boot itself. So you'll have to think of some other way of transporting the body.

Good luck,
Andrew.

Nutter !
i would but id get put in prison for child murder
Even stranger..just put her in the garage and when i turned the engine off the boot popped open
So, of course i shut it and it wont open again..unless i turn the engine on and off

How very strange, it is just her way of telling you not to let the kids slam her boot lid shut again?

Sorry have no serious help to offer but just wanted to say "Hi fellow black Works owner !!"

Hi Dawn

have you tried the emergency release handle? This is under the rear seat squab - just looks like a cable with a round pull on the end. Pull it and the boot should release.

Is it near the petrol cap ? ( i am joking)...its open at the moment, pops open when you turn the engine off so left her like that till my friend loks at her. i will find that little cable and give it a tug if he cant fix her

Mines had exactly the same problem today. The Same story, the release function was popping when the car was started up and even when driving.

Im going to have a proper look at it tomorrow.

Let me know how you get on!

Thanks

Spooky !
My friend had a look last night and was baffled (he did show me where the emergency release was tho ) and i was all ready to phone the dealers this morning, and, i got the car out the garage, tried the boot, and it opened !, tried at least 5 more times since then and no probs, i will be keeping an eye on it tho
