Boot solenoid red hot
Discussion
I guess its turned up its toes.
I've opened the boot a couple of times today and I have the Modwise boot release so I know its not a stuck switch.
Has it just breathed its last or do they work again when they cool down?
I've found a reference to a maplin part YD79 but the maplin website has 2 of them - YD79L (2Watt) and YD79K (5watt) - does anyone know which one I need ?
I need to get my hands on one damned quick because we're on the ferry to France on Thursday

Can't help on whether your one will live to fight another day, but the part number you need from Maplin's is YD79L I believe (the 2W and 5W is actually wires, not Watts )
I've used them in the past on my Tuscan doors, and worked a treat, and fairly sure it's the same part. One word of caution...the two parts come in the same box, with just a small tick box stating which one is inside - have a look which one it is to save a frustrating return trip to the store! (speaks from experience )
Cheers

I found the chrome rod hedgehopper but wouldn't using the cause you a problem if the servo failed in the open position (ie. boot lid closed and locked) like mine just did?
I used a wire because of this thought but I'd be happy to change this if its not likely to fix one problem and create another.
