Much needed tutorial for me as the tailgate panel was loose in one corner of my Discovery Sport after some 3rd party bodywork repairs - took me two months to notice! Turns out two clips had been broken and need replacing. You have provided all the information required to replace them. Many Thanks 🙏
Thanks for this. Reminded me of the time when I had taken delivery of my brand new DS only a few days earlier and had to call out Land Rover Assist when I couldn't get the rear tailgate to soft-close when locking. He decided to remove the tailgate cover just as you showed in this video, but uttered a short prayer beforehand that none of the plastic clips would snap off in the process. Luckily no harm befell them, and his reward was the discovery that the factory had completely failed to install the soft close motor and mechanism located precisely where you indicated in your video. Nothing he could do about it other than write a full report for me to take to Land Rover PDI centre in Slough for them to fit the missing parts. Also said he would be sharing the glad tidings with his mates on the road, as he had never seen such a thing. Why is it always me! 😉
Can I request a video? Can you do rear tailgate window washer hose replacement video? Mine is leaking & would be great if there is a tutorial for removing the headliner, interior trim & replacing the hose.
@powerfulukltd Hi Simon, any chance you could do an installation and review of the wireless charging pad you sell for the Discovery Sport? I'm interested in the one you have for the earlier cars, like the demo car, priced at £125. It's the one that fits under the HVAC controls. I've seen others online that say "no modifications needed, plug and play", but their videos are pretty poor. Cheers!
I have a 2018 land rover discovery se with manual lift gate, and was hit in the rear liftgate, it closes but it still shows that is opened on the cluster, what can it be?
My wife’s 2015 sport tailgate isn’t locking properly resulting in the interior lights staying on and us unable to lock it or set the alarm. It opens and closes fine but doesn’t lock. Do you sell the lock module/actuator and is it easy to change as I’m guessing this is the fault. I could probably do with a trim tool too if you sell them.
Do you have the soft close feature - maybe the soft close motor has failed if you give me the chassis number i will get you the part number for the lock You can normally check the lock function with a screwdriver in the pawl to emulate the part fixed to the boot floor
Great explanation, thank you very much but how about a German translation Thanks for the kind comment! Alas my German is virtually non existant... French i can manage some but not German. Do LR Time offer German translation for their videos ? ( love those guys )
Methinks bite the bullet, find a panel beater, he will take a whole lot less time than you filling and spraying a door, the result dare I say probably better.
Yes i need to wait till our local guy is not busy.... strange fact when we started the business we had a llittle lock up - we now rent that to a friend who used to run a big bodyshop and now just does a few jobs on his own.

We may look at doing a soft close upgrade ! we have the Defender rear soft close upgrade in production now !
Thank you for your videos. Here in the states it costs a small fortune to take your automobile to the shop for anything especially a Range Rover.
Yes UK labour rates are getting super high too !
Two videos in one night, what a Sunday 😀👍
Spent several hours on the EPB
After I got it jammed again 😩
Oh no - we are half way through the rear brake pipe replacement on the D3 !
Extremely helpful. Thank you for your videos!!
Useful Simon…more clip bravery and problem solving! 😀😀😀😀

@@L663 yes it has the soft close. I’ll see if I can find the chassis number
@@L663 I have the chassis number. Would you like me to post it here ?
@@BlueJayKRO yes or you can email via our website FAO simon
@@L663 email sent. Thank you for your reply.

Super erklärt vielen Dank aber wie wie wäre es mal mit deutscher Übersetzung

Have you done the same video for a range rover evoque
