How to fix a jammed bootlock (saloon) - Ben79
Hi all,

The bootlock in my C5 saloon failed to open. According to the dealer it is a common problem. Here's how to replace:

1, Fold down rear seats, there is a hole in the boot lock on the left side, wiggle a screwdriver here to release.
2, Remove boot lid trim (14 or so little plastic pegs)
3, Unscrew boot lock from outside, unclip, remove wiring.
4, As Haynes would say... refitting is......

The boot lock looks identical to the Xsara Picasso but I didn't ask the dealer if they are the same part. Cost under £20.

Ben
