Ok, battery died and was replaced. Since that point, the boot will only open in stages. You press the button (either fob or in car) and it will open a few inches. Press again it opens a foot, then another foot or so.. Then eventually it will be at max. It won't close remotely either...

Anyone have a clue? Had it plugged into the STAR system and it cant find a fault?!?!?!

Could be coincidence with the battery? Does it need lubricating? The power boots feature resistance monitoring to prevent accidents, so if things have dried up / got dirty over time it may think there is an obstruction and stop opening.

Interesting will check that as well. I am told if the STAR is plugged in it opens completely but as soon as that is removed it reverts to type...
