   i had to change my boot lid the other month. its fairly easy i done mine on my todd. the wires can be a pain because you have 2 green wires that are the same colour green, 1 is for your number plate lights and the other is for your boot lock if its remote central locking, i managed to get the 2 mixed up but it wasn't until i went to switch my lights on the boot locked and then i had to get into the boot from inside the car. because i have remote central locking i thought i could get away with not changing the lock but i was wrong, swapped the locks over, rewired the 2 green wires and jobs a good un.
