If your car is still under warranty, time for a trip to your dealer who should replace them

There was a problem with some of the early struts, I guess they have simply given up.

Just to go slightly (Most unlike me, I know...) do any of the LR product have electric tailgates?

Don't think so.... Just the "soft close" but not fully electric.

It's a great feature although Mrs ST can only just reach the button on the underside of the tailgate when it's fully raised!

Strangely, whilst you can open it with the key fob, you cannot close it with the same button Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award
