OK-Your right there But being a 7 seater there may be insurance implications of changing to springs. I'l get the bags checked meantime anyway and price the bags:-(

Thought as much but hoped for a lesser issue Thanks

Hi Batenberg, The explanation of the functioning is great, but it does not mention what the cause may be when the machine sits down on both sides and returns to normal after running the motor for a minute or so. On normal daily use it is not a feature as it seems to sink only when not in use...

Hi Yep, the door is functioning sweetly & to celebrate went golfing Sat & Sun so the old dear protested by jamming the solenoid on the starter - so back to walking for a couple of days-such is Landylife............ But Hey-wouldn't be without her- like and old dog - it needs conditioning &...

Hi 602 and everybody else interested, Having soaked the darn thing in WD 40 for about 10 hours, I got in the back and lay down. Using a broom handle to depress the latch lever, I gave the door a right good kicking above the activator.This was followed by pulling on the inner handle and oily...

Hi 602, Yes, we have tried that. The tailgate inner door panel has not been replaced. we can see the lever depress, but it doesen't seem to depress sufficiently to release the latch. It is behaving as if it was actually still locked, but the button is up and when you use the fob to lock...

Hi Gave the darn thing a good soaking in WD40 & got well oiled myself into the bargain.-No joy The door cover is off so we can see the mechanism to some extent.When the exterior or interior handle is pulled, the lever operates but only so far and stops without actually releasing the latch. My...

Hi Will try tonight-any other suggestions as it does look well oiled at present. If well oiling it doesn't work, i might as well get well oiled myself:rolleyes:

Hi The activator on the lock of the Tailgate of my 1999 2.5 TD5 was replaced. Helpful neighbour who is handy did the job. BUT while the activator now works and the lock button pops up, the tailgate will not open. I'd say a spring or rod is disconnected, but how do you open the door to commence...

Hi Brisy007 Many thanks for reply Got on to mainstealer and they call it a latch - 62 +VAT Anyway, seeing them at weekend and hopefully will know more then. Best regards New User

Hi Guys Many thanks for the info. Is it a new lock mechanism or "Actuator" I need? My ignorance is manifest................:-|

Hi Guys, I believe a small spring can break in the lock resulting in the lock not being operable using the remote Key Fob, but means you have to climb into to the back and pull the interior handle to open the door. A chap on E Bay sells the springs, but they seem to be for pre 1999 models.Are...

Hi Guys, I gather from the forums that a little spring in the rear door lock breaks causing the rear door to "lock" on locking, put fails to unlock on unlocking using the remote device, resulting in a climb thru to the back to pull the inside handle which pops up the Lock button. A site on E...

Hi Battenberg, You were right, it is the one side at the back pumped up. I will check today re the ACE. It seemed this morning that it was down again, but will I have to check this later today when I park on the level somwehere that I can study it. I 'll let you know. Thanks again...

Hi Battenberg, Thanks for the reply and advice. My Disco doesn't have ACE (As far as I Know) I will have a better look at it tomorrow. Do you suspect it is a failure of a front coil? The drive to work this morning (Slowly) was a little "Rough" with a light banging noise when crawling in Rush...
