The tailgate door wont unlock, it sounds to be, but wont open.
Any easy ideas?
It's off in for a few bits sorting prior to going on eBay next week.
I'll be doing the ABS sensor, the aircon gas, the transmission temp sensor is getting replaced & a few other bits.
Anyone interested, let me know prior to going on eBay probably next Sunday.
On mine, the roller blind cover used to get wedged against the inner button preventing it rising. Same happens on my current TD5. Another possibility is that the little spring in the mechanism has broken.

Mine ('96/'97 D1 300 Tdi) did this, 'they all do that sir'..... prise off the Landrover logo on the door handle cover, then spray liberally inside with WD40 or similar, whilst working the handle. Worked for me, though it's also sometimes a small spring that breaks, I believe, which needs replacing.
Cheers Paul, I'll give it a go.
other option is the locking actuator is stuck ( or seized ) get an assistant to turn the front door key while you listen for the lock to throw or ot -in which case you need remove the door trim and remove the link, replacements are a tenner at maplins Derek
Mine does it as well, particulary after the winter salt has done it's worst. I squirt lubricant up at the pivot points rather than prise of logos though. Must do it again, the RAC phone key on the key ring is begining to suffer from being used to pry the handle forward...
What you gonna get instead then mate?
d3?

Nice one, that sorted it a treat. One less job for the garage!
You lucky b*d! Now I've got used to the styling, I think they look great - and aside from everything else +ve about them, there is so much more usable room in the boot than the old Disco.

I guess this means he won't be moving to the UK then...
If they'll employ me they will employ anyone so it's worth an ask. Can you count to 10 without using your fingers and spell your own name? If you can you're as qualified as I am.
