Hi, just bought a Disco 3 on an 05 plate.
Really happy with it, however I seem to have an issue with the tailgate.
Sometimes it opens, sometimes it doesn’t.
I can hear power to the touchpad, and I can hear a ‘click’ from the lock when I press the fob unlock, but sometimes it just won’t open.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Cheers.

Good evening Barney

this is a really simple fix - mine went 3 weeks ago - go to ebay and type in discovery 3 rear boot latch and for £25 you can buy the complete latch - you simply unscrew the old one - and install the new latch - be careful when cutting the old wires which attach to the boot latch as landrover don't give you a good length of wire to work with - but I am someone who is not mechanically minded but I watched a you tube video and it was really simple and you get a huge level of satisfaction having done it and mine mow works perfectly.....spencer
