Ford Mondeo estate 51 plate - central locking and boot lock - emma1980

i have had problems on and off for the last few years with my central lock on my key fob not wanting to work i have had new keys cut because in the end they were wearing away in the door lock as my button was not working on my key fob, at the moment though it my boot that wont open all the time im wondering if it just need greasing or if there is an actual problem. sometimes it opens sometimes it doesnt as there is no way of opening it with a key im stuck! the button inside the car wont push in and my key fob wont always unlock it this seems to be intermitent at the mo but doesnt help when im wanting the pushchair out of the boot.

I had a similar problem with my 2001 estate last year.I replaced the tailgate microswitch paddle assy that is part of the rubber covered release unit.Cost about £25.Are you sure there is no key access to the rear?Mine has a key slot next to the rubber paddle.hth
