The problem is that I have a hard time to lock the trunk, and the
lever for the remote cable doesn't go down.
There must be a spring that pulls the cable back when released and the
logical place for the spring is in the trunk locking mechanism but I
can't find it. It is probably broken.
I can't find, also the way to open the plastic box that contains the
levers to open the trunk and the one to open the gas flap.

Can you help please.

If you need the trunk release cable, you can have mine cheap. I
disconnected in the 2nd day I got the car many years ago. I'm paranoid
about access to the hatch...

Thanks.

Andrew aka neex:

E-mail me how much you want for the cable & where you're located- I
might pick that up from you.

Regards,

Mark
