Next day delivery, 10 minutes watching this and the removing boot lip video and the job done in a heartbeat. Your products and videos are gold dust, thank you 🙏
I am impressed myself... we have a lot of boxes going out every day and its good to hear that they are appreciated and bring a little bit of joy to people in these tricky times !
Brilliant video, thanks . I’m no mechanic at all, but followed your direction and new switch works a treat ! Local garages weren’t that interested in doing the job, probably would have cost a few quid too ! Thanks for your time and effort.
Yes i think garages are aware that they cannot charge much for doing this so they are not interested... shame as it they looked after customers on the "small" jobs we would be coming back for servicing and other jobs.
Thanks for this, came in very helpful when my tailgate started opening on its own accord...solved the problem and probably saved a few hundred quid at the same time....
Yes i know we are not the cheapest so I appreciate you choosing to buy from us - hopefully you had fast delivery and of course if there are any problems you will get excellent support !
You can just replace the switch only without the loom by unlatching the switch assembly from the outside of the vehicle with a thin screwdriver or drill the latches off. This negates having to take the tail panel off the vehicle. Just then need to cut the wires from the old switch and splice to the wires of the new switch and press the assembly back in place.
Thanks a lot - took me no more than 30mins, and that included finding my 10mm socket :) turned out I could use an 11, which is good as I couldn't find my 10.
On my car there was even one short extra cabel loom. Is it the reverse camera connection. Did not look like that. Do you have any smart solution. FL2 2008.
Hi, I've seen various answers to this question but I hope you could help. I have a 2013 Range Rover sport (facelift model) with one trunk door as opposed to the glass opening separately. Is the tailgate switch LR020997 or the LR083610 the correct part for my vehicle? some have said the YUZ500020 but that is for the older models which could open the glass separately. Thank you for your help.
So the first models had LR020997 but this was superceded by part number LR079909 The later one piece door type ( yours ) had PN LR042648 fitted but this was superceded by PN LR083610 So you are better off with LR083610 which is actually also used on late Freelander 2 ! retail price is about £32 + Vat
Love your videos helped with so many jobs on my Freelander 2. I have followed one of your videos and replaced my Tailgate Handle which was faulty. All good and easy enough to replace 😀 I have a problem now where when I open the tailgate and try to lock the car, horn beeps and it won't lock. Also have a warning on dashboard saying "tailgate open" when it's closed. Problem fixes when I disconnect the battery terminal and reset, and car locks fine and no dashboard warning, until I open tailgate again 🙈 Any ideas ?
There must be a switch that tells the tailgate its closed - this is most likely in the lock / clasp rather than anything to do with the release switch.
Hi, i have a 2014 Feeelander2 Metropolis. The boot release button on the boot doesn't work - but oddly, it does but using the boot release button on my key??? Would I need this part for my 2014 model is is the issue something else? I will order what ever I need from you if you'd be kind enough to supply a direct link. Thanks
Yes you just need to change the rear switch www.powerfuluk.com/vehicles/pickups/freelander-2/spare-parts/land-rover-freelander-2-release-switch-for-tailgate-genuine.html
Had a battery go flat overnight - one suggestion was faulty tailgate switch - as its never worked since I bought the car, I'm wondering if it could be - has anyone ever heard of this happening??
Great video! Mine has recently stopped working so looks like I’ll have to do this! Also just recently when I start the engine the tailgate has started popping open... do you know what might be causing this?
You could disconnect the switch and see if it still happens. You can still open the tailgate from the center dash. This way you can test your theory without spending any money.
Why can't i find anyone replacing the lower ''Click Click Click'' boot open latch? It's by the looks a ''consumable part'' with a pressed plastic cog running against an Alloy cog. I'm going to attempt to grind drill out and replace the rivets holding the unit together with screws. I figure if the plastic teeth are worn i can flip the cog or depending on whether it closes in a 180 degree motion rotate the cog so it uses the unworn teeth or at worst replace the cog and fix it by bolting the unit closed. The electric motor still works fine, it's the plastic teeth that are worn. All these car companies claim to care about the planet blah blah ''wank wank'' when all they care about are sales and profit. There really is no reason the lower actuator cog on the Sport can't be a replaceable unit. But it's all pressed together to force replacement of the entire unit. when half of it is simply the metal latch with metal lever arms all press attached to the weakest plastic point that is going to wear out. If there is a vid link me to it or I'll record my own venture and share it.

Spot on worked. I bought it off you guys because of the handy video. Could have got it a couple of pounds cheaper- but paid the extra; as a thank you

Piece of cake with this vid - thanks so much!
Great video, Just ordered the switch from you, Thank you
On the refit does the bung have to sit in the hole? Mine appears to have slipped through.
Thanks for doing this video!
On my car there was even one short extra cabel loom. Is it the reverse camera connection. Did not look like that. Do you have any smart solution. FL2 2008.
Does this loom activate the boot light..? My boot light wont turn off..?
How much is that rear switch loom?

Hi. What switch do I need for a 2014 sd4? Thanks
It may depend on spec - what is your chassis number
@@L663 I'm away at the min for chassis number but the spec is the dynamic 2014 sd4. Thanks
to remove the handle please see this video

Had a battery go flat overnight - one suggestion was faulty tailgate switch - as its never worked since I bought the car, I'm wondering if it could be - has anyone ever heard of this happening??
I saw your other video where you remove it from the outside.
Is there a way I can do that too, or do I have to take the whole tailgate panel out?
I have something draining my battery on my fl2, I was wondering if this part might be responsible? would appreciate anyone's input on this thanks.
I cannot see it being this - the most common cause is the heater resistor.
There are some ideas on this forum post

Great video! Mine has recently stopped working so looks like I’ll have to do this! Also just recently when I start the engine the tailgate has started popping open... do you know what might be causing this?
I would start with changing the switch and see if this fixes things.
My 2008 LR2 tailgate latch keeps automatically unlocking, continually. Do you think the switch is the issue?
You could disconnect the switch and see if it still happens. You can still open the tailgate from the center dash. This way you can test your theory without spending any money.
How did you get on with this ?
I have the same problem on a range rover sport 2011 model. Not sure if I can take out the switch without removing the whole panel
Good stuff
Does anybody have a part no for this tailgate switch/loom ?
We have 2 options they are at this link
