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

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

Sure?

very ive already released the catch from inside so the boot is open

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.

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