I've tried everything and it just won't shut, booked into VW Thursday. £100 for part and labour, she looks lovely on the drive though !

I had the same problem a while back, try playing around with the cable. That can help. I first thought just putting some copper grease on the catch would sort it but it still wouldn't work.  But just lightly tugging on the cable can help loosen it to close.

Mine kept sticking no matter how many times I cleaned and greased it I ended up changing the latch and half of the cable for around £35 and 10 mins of my time
