Hey guys, so my boot lid wont open.

Yes it's unlocked, i'm guessing something gone in the mechanism or something?
Is there anyway to open it from the inside, because the latch on the outside sure as hell isn't doing anything.

Yeah there will be a cable release on the inside

Any idea where?
of what i can actually remove of the rear panel, it only opens up to the rear windscreen washer mechanism and the wires for it.

It should be on the other side of the Handle, So were the cable connects to the latch

If the station wagon tailgate on the KS is exactly the same as the TS, don't bother looking for a cable - there isn't one.

Does the tailgate solenoid operate when you lock/unlock the doors? If not, it is an electrical problem and you may need to check fuses/trace the wires.

You may need to cut the rear panel away to reach the mechanism, then fix and go visit a wrecker.

It's all good now, got my mechanic to have a look at it today when I had the rear brake pads replaced, apparently a shard of glass had fell down into the latch at the bottom from when I had the rear windscreen replaced.
