Looking to change the wife car for a newer Range Rover Sport.
Currently looking at 2010-2012 models.
What year can the power tailgate modification be added?

If you mean the self closing (remote/dashboard) tailgate modification, then this can be done to the facelift models fine for MY2012 and 2013 models pre MK2. Not sure on earlier MK1s.

The later 2012 onward models also had the 8 speed gearbox with rotary control.

Information corrected, thanks to Col.  John

John,

Think you will find the one piece powered tailgate was introduced from 2012 on, although tailgate can be retro fitted to earlier cars not sure how much work involved to fit powered side electrics. But as you say can be moded to power close as well.

Cheers

My mistake Col, forgot most alterations came with the MY12 models. I have corrected my post to try make it more accurate.
Thanks.  John

Thanks for your query re health since accident. Still having to sleep on my back only for another 6 months, not driving yet, and my mobility is limited still to using a Zimmer frame around the property, but starting to get around a bit now and not so much time in bed. Still in extreme pain, 225mg Morphine daily, so to much to drive anyway. Consultants hope that I should be back to where I was before accident in a further 9-15 months, so ahead of original time of 3 years. Plenty of daily Physio and exercise, both helps but makes you realise how much damage I did. Spine appears to be getting better slowly to, but they won't operate to fix clavicle which moves around freely unfortunately. Things can only get better I hope, a few falls haven't helped, and been told overdoing it. Missing driving so much, have tried to maneuverer car on drive, but severely damaged and broken shoulder won't let me turn just yet. But most breaks in my ribs are mending well, some just not got correct density in some areas still, but 28 breaks does take a while to mend!
I hope any other members currently recovering from Accidents, Operations and ill health get back to normal quickly and hopefully without to much pain.
I know I still have many messages to reply to, and am making efforts to get them all done, thanks a lot, and sorry for delays. John
