AFAIK a central locking solenoid hooked up to your boot would release the locking mechanism...

Surely this WOULD fix your problem...

Macca, from what I understand to release your boot, it can be done two ways.

By wire:
This would require you actually pulling something out of your dash similar to an old-style choke or fuel flap release - which would have about a 1" travel and require a cable to run the entire length of your car to the boot lock to open it. A kinda dorky option for a nice car.

By button:
The button would trigger the solenoid to mechanically release the boot lock.

There is Aftermarket Electric Boot Release Kits available, Super Cheap, Auto Barn and just about Every Spare Parts Place have them.
And they are Pretty easy to install, Take a few Hours.
