FWIW, spent 2 hours today on releasing a faulty trunk lock from the inside on a Series II, what an excercise!!
Removed drivers seat (RHD), then folding panel that seperates trunk from cabin, inner lining between trunk and cabin and managed to wriggle into the boot space.
With outstretched arms, 7/16" socket on 1/4" drive rachet its possible to blindly remove the 4 bolts which secure the male part of the latch mechanism from the trunk lid and voila !! daylight.
Glad its not a later Series
