Hi all....got to the petrol station this morning and the boot wouldnt open. Sh*t!! Got to work on fumes but don't know the method for getting the boot open manually.
Would be very grateful if anyone is able to ping me a note on how to do it?
Cheers

Hi thanks for your reply. I scarpered from my desk for a bit and have spent a good 15 minutes or so trying with both the car ignition on and off. No luck - any other ideas? It's been a bit temperamental recently but I have always been able to get the boot open after a few presses of the badge. Typical that it gives up when I most need some fuel.

I was told a penny works some how behind button i havnt got that far yet.keep pressing with thumb it always works? Do u use alarm ? i dont that often reset it with button on key in with windows downsitting inside then get out and try?Edited by RIP james on Tuesday 3rd May 11:05
Try pressing the badge continuously and at the same time applying a little bit of upward pressure to the boot lid.
Lately mine has been playing up a bit as well, and I find that this works. Maybe it's just luck, but you could give it a try. There are a couple of threads with instructions on how to fix this with the 2 pence coin, but have not had the time to try it yet.. It's on the to do list..!

You probably now have a solution sat in your email inbox by the looks of things, but what i will add is that you shouldnt drive it again until you get some fuel in there!
The gauges over read by between 3 and 5 litres.
I know this because i ran mine down to change the fuel hose - gauge said 8 litres and i got only 3 out...

Phewee petrol in the tank now and no need for the bus home. Thank you very much for your help on this...much appreciated. In the end I had one last attempt using Arapo's technique of applying continuous pressure to the button with a gentle press on the boot. Next job solenoid for sure. Cheers.

:-) Glad it worked..! I run out of petrol on the first weekend of ownership, although it was showing 5 litres on the pod. Very embarrassing..
