Additional...
 
Sorry if this is unnecessary... I've read most of these posts.
 
If your boot spring is a bit weak, ferret, put one or two cable ties on each spring like so!
 

 
Sorts it out good and proper.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I thought it would be better than starting a new one, does the remote work on the back hatch of the estate? I can hear a wirring sound, but it does not lift, or even unlock. Any help would be greatly appreciated, cos I have to unlock the car, then use the key to unlock the boot to avoid setting off the alarm.
Thanks

The remote does open the boot on the estate as in it unlocks it, but with the weight and no springs to automatically open it it stays in the down position.
 
If I open the boot with the key the alarm goes off as you say, but opening with the remote disables the alarm.
 
It seems you must have a prob with the release mech or the remote. Just check though that once you've opened the boot via remote that the hatch can't be lifted, you never know.
