If the point is - the key opens the boot, it should open the door lock it's a simple thing to refurbish, but not as simple to get to - the door card needs to come off then you've access to the lock. I've swapped all locks on mine with a new lock&key set and even swapped a left hand drive lock into the rhd handle, that's something I wouldn't recommend with a hangover

Great to hear your back into the car - fobs generally pop up on ebay for around £30-40 and a refurb service for around £20 (new buttons and micro switches) I can send you a dead one to get refurbed, I've a couple kicking around...

Hi
Here is the graphic of the trunk unlock images on XJ (X308) models:

The upper image is the push button and lower one is the keylock.

All 308's have a boot lock...

(the new keys needed factory programming)

micro swithes? my remote just seems to have circuit board and the inside face of the buttons seems to have some sort of conductive surface that makes the circuit when pressed. it seemed to have worn through on the lock and unlock buttons hence glueing tiny bits of kitchen foil to them revived the remote.

they should work as the security system didn't change just the hardware differences where a better design through model years, no question the electronic systems such as engine management between a 97' and 02' is improved, but not by night and day standards, it's little things that perfect them.
you can find the linking/learning procedure in this forum also, unless you already know it.
I suspect the updated version with microswitches was instigated by the pcb bent metal failures.
Hope this helps.

The other option is valet parking.

put in gear
hit lock button
release brake
then drive to missus
saves the door handle
or ... you could do the chauffer's jog ... that's always worth a minimum of 500 bonus points
