Allan K Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 it may be one in a million chance but go to the boot and give it a good heavy thump ... it might not have locked in, another option have you pressed the "valet" button" no that's too simple, ! you are using the right key, the only way you are going to get the kids out of the boot is call the fire brigade, well its school tomorrow, , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart XF Posted March 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 When all else fails hit it with the hammer someone said once and that never worked either, but did try what you said out of desperation next thing I will take a look at will be the valet option, as my son was looking at what all the features were. Perhaps I should of locked him in there 🤣😂🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE-DOT-COM Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 hi seen this before might be same fault its known to break wires, on the boot hinges, where they bend, every time you open and close the boot if you can get in the boot by folding the back seats wriggle the wires to the boot near the pivot point also not sure on the xf but the s-type had a emergency key boot opener, on the under side of the boot handle, maybe the xf has similar cheers Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart XF Posted March 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Cheers Joe, something else to look at, if it’s possible to get into the boot via back seats. Only I’ve been told that the release handles for the rear seats are in the boot, also tried the boot key no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE-DOT-COM Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 boot key some times seize due to lack of use get loads of wd40 inside the lock and hopefully it will free off cheers Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.T.H Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I agree with Joe and when you have applied the WD40 work the key in & out a few times to free the locking elements .??? Also give a good push down on the boot ??? Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
