If you need help with your C3 Pluriel, that seems specific to the Pluriel (like the roof), ask here. Engine and Transmission problem must be asked in the relevant topic for the problem. The Pluriel shares the same Engine, Gearbox, Brakes and Transmission as the other C3 models (see above for the correct section).

Think: Pluriel roof and rear window jobs
Did you know the Pluriel shares the engines, gearboxes, electrical, audio system, suspension, steering and running gear with the early C3?
I went to check the fuses and this is what I found in the glove box.
Nothing like any of the diagrams I have found. When I tried to remove the plastic cover over the motor lots of water ran out. Any advice on how to unlock manually would be appreciated as I don't want to use too much force just yet.
Cheers C3CAR,
I found the fuse box and checked them. All in order. I did manage to get the boot open. There is a small round cap next to the inside handle which exposes a slot. After lots of turning the boot DIDN'T open. So I ended up taking the plastic covers off the roof cassette mechanism's either side which gave access to a single Torx bolt which holds each latch plate in position. Once the latch plates were freed the boot lid opened with the latch plates still attached. Then I removed the plastic trim covering the solenoids and freed the latch plates and fitted them back to the car. I checked the lower tail gate and the solenoids work fine so I'm less inclined to think it's a fuse related problem. At that point bad light stopped play so I'll continue tomorrow. I'm taking photo's as I go and will post them when the jobs complete.
At last I've managed to sort out the boot opening problem. Blind luck actually. Bare with me, there's a bit of a story involved. My missus tried to open the sunroof the other day but it would only go back about 4 inches. I started to think that it might be something to do with one of the override switches, there are about six scattered around the boot/lid/cassette to make sure you cannot retract the roof if the rear window position isn't correct. Any way they all seemed to be in the correct position so I opened and closed the roof a few more times then I decided to push the roof close button when the roof was already closed. Strange thing, the motor ran for a couple of seconds and there was a click. I tried the roof and Voila as the French say, it retracted fully. Result. Then I replaced the trim on the tailgate, closed it and for some reason I gave the button a press. Blow me it opened. I tried a couple of times and it seems to be fixed. I assume there is some kind of reset that occurs when pressing the roof control when the roof is closed.
