I recently bought a 2002 Freelander and today, for no apparent reason, the boot/tailgate door won't open. When you press the handle, the window drops about an inch (not as much as it used to) and you can hear a click from the handle and also the dash, but nothing happens.
The window works fine from the dash control button, but even if I open it fully the door still won't open!!
I desperately need to fix this as I am over 8 months pregnant (due next week) and this is my only car. I have only just got it back from the garage to get a new radiator and engine mount (it has spent more time in the garage than I have had it since I bought it!).
I also noticed yesterday, after leaving the car locked up outside, that the tailgate window has opened all on it's own - I don't know if this is related to the door issue.
I went through the service history and a new window motor was fitted about 6 months ago....
If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. I just don't have the cash to take it to a garage again and have them pour over it for hours.
