tailgate wont open

(1/3) > >>

suggs:
Disco 2

 the rear tailgate wont open, can here the central locking working but the catch dosent pop up, it will open from inside and will close with the remote but just wont open with the remote.

i know Disco 1's had issues with the spring but didnt think this happened on Disco 2's

any ideas

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
I have a similar problem on my D1. I have to put the key in, turn it and pull the lever. Its been like that for 2 years now; I still haven't got round to fixing it! :oops:

Andy 300tdi:
Pop the green oval off the rear door handle and spray in plenty of WD40, should cure it

The handle is seized up like Andy 300tdi says remove the badge  and put plenty of WD40 and work the handle i've done 6 this way upto yet :cool:

suggs:
its not  the handle thats fine. its the door button that dosent pop up when i use the remote. i can here the locks move but the button stays put. thats why im thinking its a spring or solinoid.

theres no rear key on Disco 2's so have to use the remote, as i say it works fine if i open it from the inside by hand..

cheers
