It's likely to be the broken spring issue..

Take off the boot end trim and look if the spring is broken in the latch..

Thanks for your suggestions, links and offers of parts guys.

I've been opening and shutting my boot manually [using the right end of the lid] quite a few times since it played up last week and the motor never 'clunked' [and I've obviously had the DIS display showing the pictorial red 'boot is not closed' image].

But here's a funny thing; I shut it earlier to day and realised five seconds later that I'd forgotten my laptop. But I couldn't open the boot - it was locked tight.

But then I tried the latch; the motor made a noise and the boot motored up and when I pushed the lid button it motored down and locked.

So now it works but I guess it will play up again and I'll need the diagrams and or parts you offered.

Keep you posted ...

Thanks - JUlian

Julian, you know that these beasts are too complicated for their own good.
Everytime I fix a minor niggle another pops it's head up.
I currently have a suspension lifted yellow light on with the suspension working correctly.
VCDS tells me my rear nearside sensor is faulty just when I was plucking up courage to strip the driver's door to resolve the heated mirror problem.
