Thanks, took off the boot lid liner and all was revealed. Looking smart now, smarter than my question at any rate!Look underneath from the inside. Then remove the locking pin/ring.....
That's just what must have happened, also, when they repainted the boot, the orientation of the retaining clip thing was one hole out in rotation. so It took a while until it made sense! The old badge was missing the logo etc, so didn't matter which way around it went back on! As they say, every 5 minute job?......an hour bastard!there should be a cut out hole beneath the badge assembly in the boot lid liner. Someone has replaced the liner and not cut in the hole. Frustrating yes!!
