If you want to modify the opening procedure, it can be done in the boot, around the lh light cluster . I can send details of how to do it, if you wish.
Hi David, I'd be interested in your mod if you care to PM the info to me. My boot release gets 'twitchy' sometimes. I have to open the boot before parking because the vibrations from driving over bumps help give the electrics a good shake-down!
