Help required; I've broken the mechanism on my boot latch, I'm struggling to identify to find a replacement so any suggestions appreciated:

I'm sure you jinxed my boot this weekend Alex. Came to pack the car and it wouldn't clip down, had to drive home with the boot bungeed down..... got home and it decided to work fine again. Damn cars :)

Mine uses and electric solenoid release - I think it was from a Ford Orion.
I had to bond a mounting bracket for the loop part to the inside of the boot lid
The electronic release button is in fact hidden under carpet - only I know where to press!
