   Take the boot plastic off and check you havent accidentaly pulled the loom out of the boot lock. I did this, boot didn't lock for 2 weeks untill I stripped the car and noticed the plug hanging down.

   Would only effect the central locking, you locks probably just busted.

    The white plastic part has holes in it & there is black lug that fits in 1 of these holes,if its disconnected then the plunger won`t work properly.The other thing to check is to see if the metal control rod hasn`t come out either the top or bottom hole.I know this because i`ve just swapped over tailgates & all the electrics.
