Question Boot release catch

My boot release catch has ceased working! I opened the boot with it last sunday and it was fine, then went to open it on saturday just gone and it wouldnt work. It feels quite slack when you lift it so maybe a spring has gone? The fuel flap works fine however, if at all they are connected.

Can it be fixed or will i have to get it looked at?

Did exactly the same a couple of weeks ago, I'm thinking new cable etc, quick look on here and hey presto. Flick the little lever (not really sure how I caught it in the first place!!!) Must be the trunk monkey
