Hi been having trouble with my boot operenimg, anyway I was lucky this evening and it opened so I thought I would strip it down Incase it doesn't open again, I can't work out what I need to do if it doesn't open next time, how do I release it from the inside? Cheers

The solenoid pulls the cable to release the catch you can connect something so you can manually do this.If you search the forum should find a post explaining this in more detail. Especially if youhave a full height dog guard makes things interesting Welsh Collie Chauffeur Service To Barney & Rooney.

I managed to get the whole actuator out and put it on the outside so its easy to get to inside, the cable has not snapped but its very weak , after about 5 presses it stops working, where is the best place to buy a new one? i had a whole dog create in there so i am so lucky to get it open. cheers

Should i be worried about the cable snapping like it did on my D3 or did they improve them on the D4?
search my posts from a day or three back .... there's an excellent PDF on the forum somewhere on how to create a manual release AND locate it so it's not inaccessible due to dog/load guard (or even luggage I guess ? )
I'm aiming to do it at some point but want to know how much force is required to do it ... so i can maybe use a nicely discrete lever/button to work it.
