Hi all , 

When I unlock my car with the key fob the doors open fine but the boot stays locked , I have to press the boot button twice to unlock it , it used to all open , doors and boot together but started doing this now .

anyone had a similar problem ? I've changed the fob battery but still the same .

Thanks Frank 

This sounds like a failure of the boot release button in the tailgate. It might be water ingress into the button, which I think is a known issue in these models, or a fracture in the wiring between tailgate and body.

There's obviously nothing wrong with the boot latch or remote since two presses unlock it ok.

Thanks I'll have a look at the boot mechanism 

So when you press the boot release on the boot itself it doesn't respond?

Thanks going to look at it this morning 

I have just noticed my 16 plate tit focus starting to do the same thing. I will wait until service is due to get it fixed. Not that much of an issue for me at this time.

UPDATE ;  problem solved it was water in the boot opening switch , it may have been shown before but I'll put a few photos up of how I got to the switch , in case it,'ll help anybody
