   Sorry it's not really a solution, and I'm terrible at explanations, but..
   
   It's easily accessible (on mine anyway), open up the boot then remove the plastic (few torque screws). But anyway at least have a play with the mechanism, it's pretty simple. If the latch bit has come loose, the lock won't turn.

   Can you not replace the motor? I got a second hand one for £3 off ebay and it works perfectly! If not ebay, get down a breakers, I'm pretty sure it can be off a 106 aswell.

   Undo the plastic trim,it maybe that the metal control rod has become detached mate.
