Apologies All, I have not been concentrating on the forum for a few days.
The answer to this is the round black bumpers under the lip of the boot lid.
There are two of them and what is needed is the spring loaded ones that are adjustable. I did a short note on these a couple of years back and where in Germany I purchased them.
These are spring loaded and you can adjust them to vary the pressure released when the boot is opened. Too far out and the lid will not lock, it just reopens. Not far enough and the lid will not open.
Just correct and the boot will jerk open a inch and then carry on driven by the motor. The first movement can be a loud click.
Hope that makes some sense.
I've been plagued the last couple of hot weather days with it sticking. Resolved it by adjusting the bumpers out a couple of turns.
