Boot opener seems to be broken

[TorqueVR]

As the title says - I cannot open the boot, the fuse is OK but the solenoid seems to be stone dead. The Bible has nothing about it, so where is it and does anyone have experience in replacing it? PS I have got the lid open using the "secret method" but I daren't shut it again

It is behind the carpet below the lock assembly inside the double skinned back panel.

Available at Maplins/Ebay at non TVR inflated prices, it is just a standard two wire central door locking motor.

No, that can't be right. Nothing I ever do is that simple

Could somebody please PM me the secret method for opening the boot, just incase I ever need it. I know of the secret method to get into the car but not the boot were I keep the tools!
Cheers
Mike

Is everything else working OK.
I had same problem and needed a wiring repair,but from memory I had lost displays on dash also.

Aaaaggghhh - don't you just love them. It was 100% dead, so having ripped out the very well stuck down carpet I couldn't get to the motor so I wiggled the wires - job done!! I've no idea where the dodgy connection was but hey-ho
