hi chaps, i wont bore you with too many details, but is there anyway of opening the boot from inside that doesnt involve the fob or front switches because for now there not working and waiting for a part, but currently saying boot open and none of the doors will lock, so need to open the boot and close it,
thanks.

also another problem,
the passenger door neither locks or unlocks via the fob or the button inside,
and whilst im here the boot doesn't open via opening the doors on the fob, but does or did on the open boot button on the fob,and did on the switches inside,any ideas,
thanks again,

Before I replaced my rear door switch a few hard bangs on the handle sometimes opened it.

I was able to do it by pushing the latch mechanism to the starboard with a small screwdriver, You'll probably need a good light to see what you're doing. Starboard = pax side US, driver side UK.

Once open I replaced the latch mechanism, very easy and pretty cheap. Hardest part was removing the interior plastic liner but there's a tutorial for that on here and it's actually pretty easy too.

thanks for the replies chaps, normally id of tackled it myself but i just couldnt be bothered this time, so took it to the land rover garage over the road,(very handy) dont know how they did it but they did, and replaced the actuator, and the release catch as that hasnt worked for a year now, and also a new actuator/latch for the front N/S front door, everything is back to working as it should
thanks.
