I've just replaced the boot release solenoid with a new one from Maplin but it is still pulling very weakly; I can stop it retracting with my fingers. Must be an electrical problem somewhere. What should I check?

Maplin sell the solenoid? I went in there looking for the motor for the solenoid and didn't find anything. I replaced the motor from a similar model off Ebay 271069138828 and it works perfectly, everytime.

Yeah it's this one:

Exactly the same. After fitting it all back together it works fine. Opens first time every time so much better than before.
