Thank you for the suggestions, this is a 'when I get to it' project so I'm slow. I pulled the dashboard and located the back of the push button trunk release, it had two wires going to a 'red' wire coming out of a loom, so the button acts as a momentary switch. My voltmeter showed the 'red' wire to the button was dead, no 12v power - I tried with the key in, on, off, no key - no joy. Possibly a fuse is blown somewhere or the wires disconnected.

I've also located a couple of loose wires hanging down from a hole under the front of the trunk, possibly connected to the actuator. Next will be to connect 12v to see what happens. A pull latch would make sense as a manual safety mechanism but I haven't seen anything like that yet.
