By removing the 4 plastic securing push in bolts in the lower part of the boot/trunk ( no need to take off the SS trim) I could leaver off the trim to expose the twin lock latch mechanisms OK. I used a screw driver to push into the lock to simulate the hatch’s log bar which stimulated the locking motor actuator albeit intermittent (to reset each time you need to manually lower the hatch)
I applied copper grease lubricant into the mechanism then actuated the hatch several times, all now seems to work ok albeit I am now always listening for the motor noise + “click” each time the hatch closes. I hope fellow X1 users find this helpful.

For over 2 years and 4 visits to the realers (under warranty) my boot was still opening a couple of inch then closing again. After the 4th visit my wife realised it only occured when the car was pointing downhill. The dealer eventually sorted it out,but changed quite a few parts including the rams that had been damaged by the original trouble. It involved 4.5 hours of time but they never told me the exact fault ,and fortunately I never got a bill.
