SORTED ! Thanks Trevor - I also saw an article on another site = Remove poss then neg terminals from battery, leave for half hour, then open boot, keys in ignition - turn key so dash is lit - do NOT start engine - then close boot lid by hand, refit poss then neg terminals on battery (all in that order) remove key from ignition - press boot unlock button - done I think what I did wrong after replacing the battery was opening the boot manually - not using the key fob, it must have confused the system ! This worked for me !! This resets the boot and all should be fine. Hope this helps someone else.

This is another tailgate problem I cannot solve - and neither can anyone else ! This has even stumped the AA In summer (warm weather) tailgate works off key fob, both open and close - come winter (cold weather) the tailgate opens off the key fob - gets to fully open - beeps and closes again ?? Really confusing and annoying but not a major problem - someone said (on another site) if the tailgate stays open after opening that this proves the struts are good - but that being the case why not in cold weather ? I have proved that the motor, wiring and struts are working as they should but only in warm weather ! -- So why not in cold weather - it has been like this since I bought the car in 2008 - I am convinced that there is a temperature sensor somewhere that works in conjunction with the tailgate - but nobody has a clue as to where or what it is ! -------------------- That is the puzzle for someone to solve - Good Luck !
