Facelift car? It opens from the switch on the dash or from the button on the fob AFAIK.

Confirmed - if it's a facelift there is no external way to open the boot except the key fob.  From inside the car, the button by the radio has to be held in for a few seconds.

nope prefacelift the handle is in the badge but dosn't really do anything

[RobG]

Is it unlocked :question

[whipsey]

yes its unlocked the handle dosn't appear to do anything i have removed the interior panel and can see the mechanism when you pull the handle it seems like nothing is being pushed on the mechanism

Is it unlocked :question

Sure?

[RobG]

Should be a small lever at the back of the handle which pushes down on the mech to release it

[Osprey]

Looks like you've upgraded to facelift spec then

there looks to be a small silver lever that moves with the handle but it wont push down on the mchanism to release it seems as if there is too much movement with it is if its got a part missing

is the lock horizontal or vertical?
horizontal = locked & stays locked when the the rest of the central locking operates
vertical = boot locks & unlocks with the rest of the car.

Are you going to say the same thing about a pre - facelift estate?

Never had an estate, but can't see why it'd be different.
Why?

We have had trouble with the estate, boot not unlocking with central locking.....Now I know why..... It has been a long time since I tried it, swmbo drives that car, I will have to check with her when she comes back in.....
