How Can I Open My Boot?

[cree]

So I went to open my boot today and I pulled the lever and it has no tension on it and doesn't open the boot. I can't remove the back seats and crawl through as I have amps in the way on a board bolted in. The boot has been replaced so they key doesn't work either. Any idea how to open it without damaging it?

find the boot cable and reattach it

Locksmith ?

And get a boot lid key whilst you're at it.

New cable can be installed at the same time eh?

U have a feeling it has come off in the boot. All looks good within the car.

I have a feeling you are very unlucky as of late. Broken window and now the boot,

But yes I have a feeling your cable has either broke or come off. So its time for a locksmith I think, like terry suggested

why wasn't the boot lock swapped when the boot was? would've made sense to use the old boot lock on the new boot to save things like this happening.

Yeh I think I'll have to give lock smith a call. I bought the car the way it is. So not sure?

[cree]

Also could a lock smith make a key for the boot?

You sure I had a broken window? Don't remember having one?

Yup.

[mad082]

yeah a locksmith could make a key for the boot (they will just need to get the number off the barrel of the lock in the boot). a slightly more expensive option would be to buy a new lock for the boot that matches the door and ignition keys (which a locksmith should also be able to organise)

Thanks for your help guys. Will get a new key to avoid having no boot access.

Can anyone recommend a good and reasonably priced locksmith? I'm sorta in the same boat, boot changed, current keys don't work, but my leaver still works

[xALmoN]

the locksmith can adjust the lock to fit your current key.

just saying..

cost me about $100+- to open the boot and rekey the lock to my current ignition key.

my door locks also do not respond to my key, and they would cost 30 each should i want to have them rekeyed to my ignition key, but i'll have to remove the locks myself.

dodgy car, least the sussy is straight.

Something in the boot may have switched the "valet mode" lever - could be why the remote release lever doesn't work.
