More investigation led to the cable from locking catch leading up to the solenoid motor which has an internal cam mechanism which controls the lockdown of the boot. This is located inside the boot on the left. This was replaced and all is now working as new. The cam mechanism/solenoid motor fault was also the reason to the internal light problems I experienced as it was confused as to when it was open/not open.
Total outlet for labour and the two parts was £560.00 [which includes the initial labour cost of £130 on my first visit to the garage]
Not sure what an FEM module is. All the issues/fixes above was in the rear of the car.
Hope this helps you out.
