Cant open boot !! Help Please

[pil2255]

Hi i have a failed boot release, the button does nothing !! Checked all obvious causes but nothing ! My car is a 1995 Chimaera and is now running on fumes !! Please can someone email me the details of the method of getting the boot open manually so i can check the latch / solenoid plus fill it up with fuel !!

Thanks

Mike

Do you know him then Al ?

I'll remove my post on the other thread if you do.

Not personally but I have a few more tools at my disposal for checking out members.

Al, Whatever it is you know about the boot opening scenario can you share with Ian (Baretti) as whilst messing with my '99 at the weekend (fuel tank) it wasn't obvious to either of us at that time. Thanks

My boot occasionally sticks and am unable to open it without a lot of wiggling. The info sheet would be very handy incase it finally decided to stay shut.

Guys

Thanks for all your help and advice, Got boot open and now filled up with fuel !!
Cable between actuator and release mechanism corroded and slipped through retaining screws !! Plus blown fuse !!

Strange place for a key !! (you will know what i mean)

Ordered a bike brake cable to cut down and replace.

Cheers
Mike
