Well finally got mine working (again). I messed with all the adjustments and could not get it to open so left it alone. I feared my motor was weak as even with the new buffers with spring inserts it did not open.
So, I adjusted the bolts in the corner and found the left one helped with the opening but it then did not close. I then adjusted the right hand side and it eventually closed after some fine tuning. So now it opens and closes as it should, next job is to get it to close from the key!
I also bought a new set of struts in frustration but these were not the cure so I have a set of genuine struts for sale soon, manufactured in 2014 so not that old that work fine.
