ML Boot not locking

[ML350BLUE]

My 2009 ML 350 boot is not fully locking when closing the car boot. This results in being unable to open the boot, without first having to open via the "over ride" switch in the back door.

The fob opens and closes the boor door ok, but sounds like it is having difficulty closing the lock.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Did you get to the bottom of this? Mine wont open at all, I have to open it from the inside via the emergency catch. I cant hear it lock or unlock with the rest of the doors?

Surely this will be the locking motor failed.

Seems to be a weekly fault among the whole range at the mo.........

The 164 latch is the same as the 211 latch, probably costs £30 to make. Costs circa 280 from dealer.
