Taliban, Have you checked the loom adjacent to the boot hinge?. You may need to 'unwrap' some of the tape covering. This is a known weak spot as the hinge can damage the loom with its continual movement. We used to have some good photos of this but regretfully they are no longer on the site. Mike.

Tali, do you mean the boot interior lamp or the one over the rear seats?

Whilst looking for my 3rd brake light feed earlier this week (still looking for it) - I happened to notice that with the boot closed, the cable loom is bent to a very acute angle by the final section of the clip on plastic covering.
You can only see how tight it is by closing the boot fully, dropping down the rear seat and looking up with a torch.
