DB9 Boot-lid question?

[sportie]

Having just purchased a 2005 DB9 I am having trouble with the boot lid! Its very heavy to lift and wants to close very quickly, so I assumed that the struts must have gone. So I bought a pair of secondhand ones and fitted them. However they made no difference, so either I have purchased a faulty pair or the boot-lid behaves this way.?

My question is do DB9 boot-lids behave this way?
