Had big problem with power back door now got to where the car goes to “ready” mode then engine starts but stops after few seconds. Plenty of petrol.Have not driven car more than 200 yards for over 1 year (shielding).12 v Battery replaced 6 months ago and seems fine except for being unable to open back door.

Thanks to Herbie, Greisingle&Paul (GSLV6),

Comments to be investigated,  not sure (not up to speed with the language) I will look into buying some self diagnostic kit (techstream, XP, virtual box are mysteries at present).I did check the glove compartment switch. As it was in correct position I didn’t operate it, but I will- & listen. 
thanks

Thanks for response,

I expected it would be. 
The model is a 2012 450 h. The problem started when ,because I’m shielding, I left it too long between charges. When I realised and eventually got the Battery recharged (I bought a new charger). Everything seemed to work ok and I’ve driven to the  postbox as a test,ok,but now I can’t open the back door even using the emergency device (behind the little oblong cover in the door).So I’m assuming(?) that it’s the pbd that’s gone. I thought it would be a simple case of replacing the 30A fuse. But I’m puzzled by the fusible link as there’s no mention in the handbook, which clearly shows fuse 9 as a 30a fuse. In the fusebox, I took out the adjacent 10 mm nut but that did not loosen the link so no idea what to try next. I’ll read your advice again to see if I can understand it better.

Thanks again for advice,

ok, I’ve read it again and when the snow has cleared I’ll try raising the grey insert.

I have just posted same problem on my 2012 450h. You may now find you have my problem. The lid of the fuse box you photo’d shows a green 30 A fuse for pbd (power back door) so I was expecting to be able to replace the blown one. However it seems to have been changed to a fusible link as pictured in your photo (same colour).I have never come across these before  I took out a 10 ml nut but didn’t help. If anyone replies to me I’ll let you know.
