There was a recall for this if memory serves (see Honest John); it happenned to me but luckily turning the lock on the boot lid did the trick!
Sorry I can't be of more help!

The solenoid might be buggered.

Its an easy fix. HEad to a scrappies, get a solenoid, check that it moves (you can pull and push it with your hands) and fit it. Sorted. 30 mins, inc trip to scrappies and £10.

Yes I do; solenoid sounds like a good idea as Blue said!
