TD5 - About to purchase, but rear door won't open!!

<< < (3/4) > >>

Tyke:
He He !!!

Been there and got the T-shirt.

Off with the badge, good old squirt with WD40, even took the rear door trim off and put the oil can to the internals. Giving it all a good tug and getting it all moving again.

Reckon it's probably the spring guys talk about but mine's been working fine since I lubed it. Still wont open without putting the key in the lock and turning it to the left as if unlocking it and I always wonder if it I will be able to open it again. I use my rear door a hell of a lot getting tools and tackle out of the back and also the dog virtually lives in there as well. One hell of usefull load space with seats folded up, dodgy door locks don't help.


Seems to be par for the course however. I've since seen loads with the same problem.

Lock??  Key??  I did look but didn't see it.  Where's that then  :oops:

Spooky:
There's no keyhole on the tail door of a Disco 2 ...

sulley:
That's what I thought.

Sulley,
If you're buying it from a dealer then wouldn't it be an idea for them to fix it first?
Is it a seven seater, if so then the boot door is also classed as a passenger door and should therefore opperate properly. As far as I'm aware, this would be an MOT fail on a seven seater as if you had passengers in the back they would have difficulty getting out in an emergency.
