It seems like i've got a lose contact or something like that. At first my boot wouldn't open and later when i tried to close the window it didn't work either. After less then a mile, they suddenly worked again, probably cause of a bump in the road. Anybody got a clue where a can find the earth for both the windows and the boot switch? They are probably linked.

The boot and windows are both supplied from the same relay, which is active when the ignition is on. It is labelled 'Aux' as well as Boot Lock and L.H. Window, R.H. Window. Probably the relay is loose or stuck.
Note that the relay layout may be different to the plan shown on the car!

Thanks Ian, the relay was loose! It's nice to know your windows work in case it going to rain!

Boot ... relay? Too posh for some of us!
