Tailgate stuck !!!!

My tailgate has decided not to open the glass top bit, if you push the button the whole thing opens but not just the glass bit.
It worked ok yesterday any ideas !!! Sad Sad

Button? The big round one in bootlid? To open glass, switch is under handle between the number plate lights, the button only opens the tailgate. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈

Tailgate

Hi guys. No not the button it's the other one for the glass bit. Button works fine to open the whole thing.

Prime suspect is the switch - known to be a weakness. You press the rubber cover which operates a lever which in turn operates a tiny microswitch. The whole switch assembly is a simple DIY job to replace; it can be carefully levered out without doing any other dismantling but there is less chance of doing damage if you first remove the plastic trim piece below the rear window glass and gain better access.

PS: link here to a video showing how easy it is to remove the trim piece:  2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Hi, how do you programme the remote button to open the glass as apposed to the whole boot?

According to handbook for 2006 Bow down

Quote:
Programme by keeping the Land Rover button
pressed and also pressing the main tailglass
release button situated under the rear number
plate plinth.
A short press of the button will now cause the
vehicle’s tailglass to release.

Hi Chris yes it is the tailgate switch which is at fault. Remove switch from between number plate lights. Remove rubber cover and you will see the problem, the alloy hinge piece will be corroded. When you push the rubber button, it pushes the hinge up onto the micro switch. But because it is corroded it does not move. Scape it off and give it some WD40. I did this 18 months ago,still working fine. A new switch on ebay is about £25 itisme

All sorted with this thanks to flack who had the RRS in last week for a service, cambelt changes. Really nice guy, very knowledgable, ran me back to work and sorted my tailgate switch for the upper section which wasn't working. Gives me real piece of mind knowing a local guy that I can trust and has the knowledge of these.
Recommended!
Thanks flack. Il be back for those software updates and rear lights to be fitted soon.
