Gremlins..

[Gaz5462]

Hi all, I have a 2.0 petrol 2019 XF estate. A couple of little gremlins are creeping in.

 

The first being the boot struts, it's an electronic opener and it opens to its full height and then slowly drops down, sometimes by a little,  sometimes by a lot... (silently!) Just in time for me smashing my head on the catch.

I've checked and reset the open position so that it should definitely be held open fully. 

I've had some mixed information, someone has said the struts need replacing are plug and play and I've also been told they need coding to the car by an authorised mechanic. Which is true?

I'm handy enough to change most things buy I don't have anything to plug into the computer ports.

If they are user changeable, anyone know of anywhere other than the Jag service desk that sells quality replacements?

 

Finally, one of the key fobs rubber buttons has started to fail. The innards are all good, can I get just an outer shell from somewhere, ideally with the Jag motif on the back?

 

Thanks
