Does anyone have any advise on how i might get my tailgate open on my 1995
850 estate. I have always just used the key fob to operate the central locking but that just seems to now want to unlock the car except for the tail gate. I also dont have a key and the internal lever seems to do nothing. Please help

The problem was that rod going toward the top left corner. It threads into the white piece in the middle and just needed to be adjusted a bit to keep the other parts from jamming. I don't remember the exact operation of the thing any more; it took a little examining at the time to figure out which piece was supposed to do what, but it wasn't rocket surgery."Ernest Scribbler
