boot lid wont lock-2002 A4 AVANT

[T-Sport]

On my way home tonite i opened the boot to put a bag in and when i went to shut it the electric locking mechanism wont engage at all??

I tried a number times to slam it but it just bounces and sits ajar...

The dis is showing the boot as being open and courtesy light stiil on ...

When i tried to lock the carthe central locking will only lock the doors and the alarm does not arm itself now ??

I then thought maybe it was a fuse that had blown for tailgate but checked them and they were all fine...

My only option was to then phone the ******** and they are picking the car up for me in the morning as a matter of urgency as i cant secure the car...

The Audi service guy reckons the boot mechanism has gone ...

Anyone else had a similar problem ??
