[quote="Steve,
Is there any point in me complaining to Nissan UK about this?
It seems to me that there should have been a recall.

A K12 Micra in its 10th year is already well beyond its design economic useful life. Operating such an old car is only economically efficient and beneficial if you are handy and enjoy the ongoing DIY challenge of continually improvising repairs on the hoof at marginal cost!

Water ingress retention into electric boot lock can be DIY resolved by providing improvised continuous drainage and sealing the weather joints. Sealing all joints with non-setting sealants to enable future disassembly and using water repellent lubricants on all electrics.

Some of the well-known K12 maintenance issues are listed at url:

Good and bad, what to watch out for item number eight relates to boot lock.

Enjoy the challenge of an improvised DIY repair.

Good luck
