Definitive guide to opening a stuck boot
No key available to open the boot of this car. Tried supplying power through the passenger footwell. Got power okay but the open-boot button didn't respond at all.
This is how I did it - https://www.dropbox.com/s/mxvst7nwsu...2014.56.18.mp4 Watch and learn . . . . . . .

If only they still did 4* fully leaded! 2009 A8 4.2 FSi LWB - Marine Blue - 164k miles. Extras? Too many to list. But I do like the Rear Seat Entertainment . . . . . . 477k miles to the moon and back. 238k to go and between them they'll have made it!

DVB-T and XCarlink now removed as redundant. 2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation".  (Even rarer than a D2 S8!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!  Finally: gone, but not forgotten..... 1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course.  (internal dimming mirror added later)1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Not the boot lid, thankfully.

I'd probably have pulled or punched out the keyhole and surround then yanked on the release cable.
Probably only needed a big screwdriver and a hammer.

I like this method. Way more fun than being delicate!
