    That damn liftgate!

    Hi Folks, Picked-up my D3 today and officially started the ‘project’. Thinking I’d start ‘easy’, I’ve had a look at the rear gates stuck closed. I knew it was faulty when I bought it - so no sour grapes. The previous owner had been there before. The top of the carpet on the lower gate had...

    Landrover discovery sports tailgate 2015 replacement

    Hello, I have a landrover discovery sport 2015. Sadly I reversed into a post and dented it, I am told the cost would be a few thousand pounds, but I cannot claim on my insurance. I had a look on eBay at tailgates for sale and they seem to be a good price, even if the color is incorrect. They...

    Hi All, I'm a newbie here and in the world of LR so please go easy on me. I have bought a 2002 Freelander TD4. When I was buying it it needed quite a few small things.

    Rear door / tailgate replacement.

    First post, here goes. I've bought a Freelander Serengeti which has an unopenable rear door. It looks like the seal has gone on the plastic handle cover and let water in. It's dinted too so I have sourced a complete new door/tailgate. My question is; My model has the removable roof, the one I've...

    Help! The tailgate glass in our trusty L Series will not go down by any means, the dash switch produces a beep, the tailgate door handle releases the lock but there is no way I can actually open the tailgate to get the panel off and check the wiring with the glass raised! I have tried...

    Stiff rear door

    Hi All, My Disco 2 rear door is very stiff, I have WD40'd it in the hinges and given a liberal squirt into the retaining check strap mechanism under the door but to no avail. The hinges seem fine - there is no considerable rust washed out by the WD40 from them and there is no wear evident if...

    Yet more tailgate window woes

    1998 2.0 Di. Had the cam belt changed yesterday so the battery was disconnected. Driving home this evening, I noticed the tailgate wiper wasn't working. Checked the rear fog and heated rear screen - also not working. Stopped at a petrol station, opened the tailgate and the glass didn't drop...

    Freelander Tailgate Window and Rear Wiper stopped working

    My problem is similar to others posted but not quite the same and I'm hoping someone can shed some light before I start pulling off trim etc. I have a 55 Plate Freelander TD4. I first noticed that the rear wiper wasn't working and then tried the rear window that won't open either. I have normal...
