Default Mk X boot

Mark X boot wont open on my friends car. The key turns ok but it seems the linkage inside may have come adrift. Any solutions as to how we can open the boot please to affect a repair.
Thanks to you all. I am going to learn a lot from you guys

Schony you say the key turns but that does not open the trunk (boot). There is a lever arm directly under the key on the lamp plinth. Does that move at all? If it does try some gently pounding in each lower corner of the boot. Depending on how long it has been shut the latches may be stuck.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will check and hopefully that will work. The car is part of his private collection so doesnt get out much and I should imagine the boot hasnt been opened in months or even years
