XF Boot Opening

[John D9395]

This may sound a stupid question.

I have owned 2 S Types, and both, when you remotely open the boot, the boot lid fully opens with the help of the hydraulic rods.

I collected an XF on Monday (loving it,), but when you remotely open the boot, it only releases the boot lid, it doesn't spring open.

Is this how an XF boot operates, or do I need new struts?

It's a 2011 model

I've researched this myself, and my findings were that the XF boot lid is not designed to open fully, only to pop up by half an inch or so. Likewise on our X-type.

Hope that helps.

Had this done on mine, works a treat. Mine was done at one of the Sunday Club days run by a few of the guys from that forum. Only took them a couple of minutes to do.
