5. Discovered a green/white wire which had broken; temporary repair enable the lock to work and be released.
6. Repaired wire and reassembled.
Took about 2 hours and reading the other blogs seems to have saved £600.

John, hope you're still an active member
I'm trying to fix my boot as of now. And Im stuck at stage 4. I have unscrewed the three bolts retaining the lock to the lid and of course also disconnected the connector going to the lock. But Ive tried, a lot, to get the lid open. As you say in stage 3, the lid opens up just a little. But how in the world do you get it fully open?
