Hi,
Check if the springs adjacent to the boot hinges behind the boot's interior panelling are still attached, as the anchor points for these springs can shear, through fatigue and stress in my opinion, though others may say corrosion.

thanks buddy... will have a little look tomorrow
Also there are different anchor holes, so with a bit of strength you can move the springs to a different hole and adjust the tension. I adjusted mine down so the lid only popped open a bit (but could then be flicked open with one finger), rather than deliver a swift uppercut to anyone stood nearby.
