Hi all. First the passenger door and then the drivers door. Now I can only unlock/lock everything via the boot! Any clues as to likely culprit? Dodgy solenoid? if so, where will I find it/them? Thanks in advance. Tim

Check the wiring where it enters the boot lid - it's commonly referred to as "boot loom of doom". May have to dig around a bit to locate any breaks in the loom.

Almost certain it will be broken wires in the boot lid wiring loom, repaired mine and another members, his was a complete mess inside the loom with many broken wires and a build up of green gunge, had to strip back to good copper and make solder joints to fix that.
