Can anybody tell me what the strange mechanism on the underside of the boot lid, on my 2.6?

It looks like a lever with a cable attached. Don't know what it does, can you help?

Thanks

sounds like the internal release lever --- so's you can reach in from the cabin and open the boot if switch gets stuck

It is so people locked in the boot can escape

You are not supposed to keep the missus in there !!! (she might damage the lining !!)

Only useful if you haven't got an LPG tank in the way

You won't remember to do it until it is too late

I tried a piece of cord, tied around the handle, fed through past the LPG tank to behind the rear seat. Works great with the boot empty, but every time you load it then shut the lid, the cord drops down and tangles in the load.

I'm trying to work out a sort of retracting system using one of those retracting dog lead thingy's. Once I get something working I'll post it up !!
