Probably stuck, WD-40 should do the trick.

The lock mechanism may be loose. Check the two screws behind two plastic tabs inside trunk directly behind keyhole.<br> Good luck!

I just went through this.<br> <br> Open the trunk; look at the inside of the lid.<br> There are two holes, one for each of two <br> mechanisms. You can reset the trunk close<br> with the lower one, and the pop-out handle with<br> the upper one.

If the trunk does not fully close, then it's the hydraulics.

Thanks for all the suggestions, unfortunately no joy. However I managed to get in touch with the brilliant Daniel Gillitzer who sent me detailed info.To cut a long story short I pulled the relevant fuse(think it was number 9) waited 10 secs and replaced it. Presto! Apparently it allows itself to reset after any recent problems.<br> Well worth knowing<br> Thanks Daniel and everybody<br> Regards<br> Clive

Thanks to Daniel Gillitzer from the Turnball post. Pulled the fuse and trunk is fine. Thanks again.

Your problem will return.<br> If the system is oparable after the fuse trick<br> it means that you have a leak in the vacuum system<br> try to find it.

 

[Guest (MBNZ)]

Thanks for that,if the fault returns I will search for a leak<br>

Does this logic apply to the

fuses for the pnuematic door closers? ie: if pulling the fuses for the door closers 'fixes' the problem, does that mean there is a vacumn leak?
