Today I decided to try to sort it. I removed the cover from the back of the boot and sprayed WD40 on all the mechanism - although it all seemed to work freely enough. I pushed the lock down and pressed the button and it flew open - same with the remote. Shut the lid ..... whirrr, whirr, whirr.
It had to be the bolt - couldn't be anything else. I noticed it was not quite straight. Got an allen key and loosened the bolts and moved it up. Tightened it - BINGO - worked a treat. It only needed a slight adjustment - too much and the boot lid stands proud of the wing.
I now have a boot lid that pops up on demand with no whirring. I am a very happy bunny
