    Tailgate not closing

    Hi Guys -My D5 has yet another gremlin where by when I press any of the auto buttons or key fob to close the tailgate, it get to within 12" of closing and then opens up again?

    I let the vehicle completely shut down and then tried it again but still the same.

    Any possible help would be greatly appreciated. Thumbs Up

    A guess, but is the plank properly pulling back in. When I’ve had a bag or whatever marginally foul the plank closing, the tailgate behaves as you describe.

    Just for info in case anyone else has the same problem.
    Called out JLR Assist and they say one of the struts is Censored and has a bulge in it.
    They need replacing.....
    Thanks for your help all Thumbs Up
