asume all leons have it on the right hand side next to cigreet lighter socket. have a quick search, some people had an a f faulty wiper cuasing water to leak into lock causing it to fail

i have this with mine , evrything locks exept the boot and cant lock with the key either

Can you hear the solenoid/motor moving when locking?, you will need to remove the boot trim.
I know Steveo has seen this before but have a look at this for the actual pics of what to look for when the trim is off. Pics and arrows show the movement of parts. If nothing is moving when the key is pressed then you will need a solenoid/motor probably.

its going into Seat tonight as im still under warranty, so il try and get the problem posted up. However i think your right Allan, the solenoid/motor is not moving or making any noise.

Oh should have said, will save you ripping your fingers to bits , I suspect then it is the motor as I've heard of a few failing early on within the warranty period. Although sometimes a faulty wiper hose can play havoc with the boot electrics

yeh i mean it is X reg at the end of the day, but meh, 6 months warranty they can sort it out!! I just wondered if there was summit simple rather than losin me car for the day, as they havent got any courtesy cars available.
