The boot is starting to squeek all the time now, there is nothing loose, i have WD40ed the hinges ect when im driving around.
When the boot is closed and you push it slightly it squeeks also.
I have even taken the panel off the boot to see if its anything in there, but evrything is solid.

Is it actually the hinges that are squeaking?
Use grease/oil rather than WD40

Try lubricating / adjusting the catch.

look at the piece of plastic that your boot actually latches onto. you can spin the piece of plastic and you will more than likely find a groove worn out of it. i just wrapped some electrical tape around it and it never did it again. lol

wrap some electrical tape around the boot catch bar, as said above, it works virtually every time, its a common problem with all cars where the boot is frequently used
