I admit that at first I had the same worries but after a couple of years I have accepted that it works and put up with the loud click.

Mine also worked repetitively for at least 7 or 8 times but now seems to struggle again. I haven't had another play with it yet but it's getting frustrating!

Maybe we need a new motor.

That did cross my mind however the motor seems to work fine once I help the boot up an inch. It pulls the boot lid up and down as it should, or at least seems that way. I don't mind changing the motor but don't want to throw parts at it without being sure. The buffers were only £11 but the motor is a bit more

Just a note if anyone is trying to source replacement struts, be aware that they are both filled with different pressures. IIRC the left is 390Nm and the right is 265Nm. I am in talks with a local company who can supply struts at the correct pressures and have been very helpful. I will post prices and info once they get back to me
