Tailgate only opens with keyfob
Hi All, First thanks for accepting me on the forum.
I recently bought my LR3 (2008) and have some weird issue with the door locking system.
When I bought the car the opening and locking system was working normally and without any problem. Then all of a sudden, The tailgate doesn't unlock anymore when I open the car with central locking on my keyfob.
Instead it will only open with the keyfob when I press the Landroverlogo on the keyfob and I need to press it twice. first to open it about 1 inch and the another push to be able to open it normally.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Many thanks !!!

Its most likely the actuator starting to fail now is the time to fix it before it fails completleyAndrew

Anyone here from Spain who has an address where to buy (spare) parts?
