    Default Power tailgate issue

    Ok, a bit vague as its a mates car i don't see often. But the power tail gate has failed, he can hear the motor trying to run and there's some oil leaking from the actuator strut.
    Haveing a search around there's little info as im trying to work out how this system actually works.
    Ive told him the whole lot needs to come off to test before just ordering the powered strut but im not sure if these are hydraulic or wire driven like the Vectra.

    Anyone with any experience of these?

    I am pretty sure that the strut is connected to the motor with a wire. If it was hydraulic, just imagine what humongous hydraulic pump and hoses and tubes and tank for hydraulic liquid would be needed.

    There's only one part listed for the insignia
    Looking at the parts diagrams it looks like 2 hoses with unions on the end and the motor is named hydraulic
