So I sprayed round the hinge with Lithium, then disconnected the strut and worked the door backwards and forwards, no change, so kept applying lithium to the hinge joint, still no difference.
Next I applied a small bit of lithium to the top of the hinge and hey presto just opened the door once and it went very smooth.
Looks like the very top is the place to apply lithium.

On the Gen.4 the rear hinges have a drilled hole at the half way point. I modified a grease nipple to put a point on it and brazed it into a grease gun extension tube. It doesn't take a lot of pressure and it will pump the grease of your choice to all the points necessary. I have enclosed a couple of pics. to show the details.
