I don't know what's called exactly but it was something like that. Anyway, I FINALLY fixed the noise but since I used velcro here and there, I still don't know what was causing this noise. I did find out my upper glass hatch was little bit twisted though. I knew LRs are not bullet proof in terms of reliability like Lexus but this is... 09 TDV6 HSE, Stornoway Grey/Black, Sat.

I just got back from the dealer for oil change and complained about the noise from tailgate which I temporarily fixed using velcro. Guess what I heard.

Electric tailgate latch was introduced for 07 MY - i.e. from about September 06 onwards. So you can have an 06 registered car that is 07 MY build.

Hmmm.. this is interesting. I thought all models had electric latches, no?

Must admit Bobby that thought struck me too... I suspect the feature we're talking about here is the "power close" feature of the tailgate on MY07 and later, as famously depicted in Kaine's video

Yes, I was talking about "power striker" and latch. He said he didn't plan on fixing the noise problem initially. Instead he's working on something else that required taking down the bumper. During this work, he also had to disassemble other parts including the latch/striker and after putting these all back together, owner said the noise's gone! so, he suspected the noise's coming from loose engagement between striker and latch. Interesting story... 09 TDV6 HSE, Stornoway Grey/Black, Sat. DMB/Navi, 2GB memory, Rear view camera, 12 CD/MP3/DVD changer, 35% Lumar tinting, Custom exhaust tips |
