Hi all next job on the list should my boot open fully on its own when I press the fob button or the boot release button in the car the boot unlocks and raises slightly but does not open fully if so what direction should I go to repair this

    Highly unlikely as the powered boot was a rare option in the UK. Best way to check is to look for a hydraulic cylinder with pipes on the left-hand hinge in place of the standard gas strut or find the pump which is located above the battery.

    All cars had the standard soft close which is what you are describing.
