Can anyone tell me where to find the boot light switch on this model? Definitely not the usual visible type!

Many thanks

Not usually mercury now but a ball-bearing.

Thanks guys - I was helping a friend. Car had boot, interior light and 'door open' warning permanently on.

Found the switch - it's a microswitch actually located within the catch in the tailgate. Catch is riveted together, so switch difficult to access. We simply disconnected it, which got round the immediate problem. Boot light comes on when a door is opened so it's not a great problem.
