Possible boot cable snapped

Is the anybody close to Woking who can help me open the back boot doors. Loaded the shopping in today and got home and could t open the boot. I can hear the motor turning but won't open. Is there a manual release? Thank Big Cry

If you can hear the solenoid but the door doesn't release it'll be the cable end snapped off, no doubt about it. Big Cry

You have to get to the cable in the lower tailgate behind the door card and pull it to release Thumbs Up

All sorted. I drilled new holes about an inch closer and reused the same cable. See photo.







Thanks for all your help
