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

Exactly how ours went on the TD5 then next time the door push button under the handle was soild.  Same cure worked

suggs:
i striped all the door out and took a look at the solinoid/lock pack. theres defo power to it and i can here the internals move when i push the remote but the button dosent pop up, im pretty sure theres a broken spring/linkage etc inside.

looking like a new actuator is needed, its all one piece on the Disco 2, theres a few on ebay so will order one up..

landandy:
its that little sprig thing that gos on all discos locks at some point you can bue set of 5 for 15 to 20 quid just need time and patience to put in good luck

landandy:
opps forgot to spell check :oops:

suggs:
thats on Disco 1's, Disco 2 tailgate lock/actuator is a one piece sealed unit. im guesing its an internal spring thats gone

ive only ever seen the repair kits for Disco 1's
