KenP did it to his estate. Mine's fitted from the factory so never done any real work on it but I know Ken had a few problems when he did his.

There was a kit on eBay for 150 not long ago

Last year, my Signum developed a fault with the boot release handle - it made a buzzing sound but wouldn't release or open the boot. To unlock the boot, I had to drop the rear seats and climb into the boot, and use a screwdriver to manually unlock it via a small hole located on the inside boot trim. It turned out to be a faulty boot release switch, replaced under warranty.

This ebay link shows the part...

Yeh,

you can't get a siggy with power tailgate, if you open your boot and press the handle again, you'll always hear the motor running, it's just the release mechanism.

I thought the siggy would be great with remote power tailgate but after looking at how many of the parts would need to be modified to fit a siggy, I decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

Nice one mate - that's very cheap!! My Vauxhall stealer told me that it's a commonish fault, so I'll keep that link in case mine goes faulty again. Cheers!
