Hi everyone,
Over the weekend I was fitting reversing sensors to my W210 (1999 E240) which involved removing all the trim from the boot (carpet and the black plastic around the boot lip) in order to mount the "control unit"
Once the sensors had been tested I put all the trim back and shut the boot, thinking it was "job well done"
However, I now can no longer open the boot
I have tried using the "blipper", and the release button by the gear selector. I have also tried using the mechanical key which refuses to turn in either direction (even after a good squirt of WD40 into the lock). All the other central locking is working fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions before I resort to having the lock drilled out and replaced (which feels like it will be expensive
)
