I've noticed a clunking sound when going over potholes etc, looks like its the boot hatch being loose, I can move it around when pulling/pushing on it.

Can i just get any second hand boot latch off ebay? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285731083650?

I'd rather buy second hand OEM than brand new ebay.

    There are a few different part numbers available for the latches, though I can't see what the actual differences are.

    That ad lists 2012 which is definitely not Mk3.5, but some of the part numbers do seem to crossover from the pre-facelift Mk3 so they might all be compatible.

    I'm a little confused. 🤔

    Your profile says you have a Mondeo 2009 (twice) but you posted the question in the Focus forum. Then the heading says "Mk3.5 Loose Boot Latch" (I'm guessing a Focus) but the eBay link is for a 2012 Mk3.5, (which has to be wrong), Focus ESTATE.

    What year and model car do need the boot latch for ? Is it an estate ?

    Currently have a Focus Mk3.5 hatchback 2015, 1.5tdci.

    Looking at a lot of boot latches, they all state year 2014 which, as we know, is the last year of the pre face lift.
