so weird one...
ph3 boot lock, so no key.
it jammed on locked at castle combe, so I got in via back seats and popped it open.
then it worked fine for a day. this went on for a week.
Got bored of it. So checked wiring loom between body/boot. Looks like new.
Checked lock. Seemed sticky, so stripped down, greased up and it was loads freer. Tried it dozen times and all well.
A car journey later and it did it again.
So swapped lock servo motor.
And its done it AGAIN! grrrr.
what am I missing here?!?!

long shot . . . the rubber adjustable things at the bottom corners of the boot, maybe screwed out too far and holding it tight? like i say long shot . .

Did you check the loom all the way back to the plugs in the rear quarter? If its a new loom might not have been pushed in tight. There's also an earth point around there somewhere iirc.
