My cars left inner taillight (the one on the bootlid) was working intermittently so I traced the fault to a wire inside the feed loom which connects the bootlid to the main body on the right hand side through a flexible rubber tube. Moving the rubber tube with the bootlid open caused the light to flicker.
Next i removed the bootlid lining to gain access to the wiring inside. The wires are all bundled and taped where they go through to the main car body and I did not want to undo all of that, so I located the left and right taillamp wires where they come out of the clusters and simply connected them by soldering a piece of wire between the two.
Problem solved.
