ok...cheers for that, it's a 'work around' to getting the tailgate open.

I tried the 10+ seconds on the unlock button on the key fob and all it did was open the rear window...is that right? It still does not cure my problem... glass still doesn't drop down far enough to clear the top plastic surround cover

Just lubed up the runner and mech, and sprayed the rubber surround...still hasn't cured the problem. Return springs looked in good nick, so I have had a good spray around with the silicone and I'll keep my fingers crossed! Re-calibrated it, again, just in case, However... still doesn't drop...

I'll check the springs for corrosion, see if that's causing the problem, thanks.

Hi, I'm sure I've read about this problem before..but can't for the life of me find a solution. I have a Freelander XEDI '98, 2.0 diesel for my sins. (It's actually been a very good and reliable car since I got it 3 years ago) However... Yesterday the rear tailgate glass stopped dropping...

Great response... Thanks for all your input, a grreat help. Looks like i need to weigh up either 17" road tyres or change to 16" rims with a more off road set up. Not sure what type of wheel i've got but i took a picture ...17" 3 spokey design... Thanks Spudd

Hi Folks, I've got a nice 2.0 D '98 Freelander with 17" wheels with Kumho escta 225/55/r17 boots. (Very Urbanish fat tyres!) They're starting to look a bit worn and I would like to replace them with a more 'AT' tyre. (Road and a bit off roady) However I'm struggling to find anything that...

Thanx for the speedy reply I'll give the mounts a go... you never know I might be lucky! Cheers:)

Hi, I have a 'wobbling' noise coming from the rear of my Freelander 2.0 diesel 1998. (like the sound of a helicopter flying some where in the distance!) At around 30mph it is at it's worse, softening as speed increases?! :confused: It is present when the clutch in or out, which makes me...
