Help! The automatic tailgate on my 2018 Disco keep opening & closing on its own. Nearly knocked me out whilst I was loading stuff in the back last week and today I went to pay for diesel at the garage and when I came out the tailgate had opened (glad my dogs weren’t in there). I’m going to book it in with Harwoods as on,h had it for 3 months but I’m convinced they are going to fob me off especially as it doesn’t happen every day. Does anyone have anything that can help? This is just one of several problems that I’ve had to send it back for since Jan 2022. Very frustrating and disappointing. Thanks all.

well at least I know it’s not me! I’m booking it in asap and thankfully have photo of my bleeding head & another where it refused to open or shut using fob but when I closed rear passenger door it flew open! Now I remember why I got rid of my 2016 RR Sport 2 years ago for smaller but scary fast Macan. Problem is there’s just something about a LR

I thought they all had it. Maybe just the HSE model?
It's foot activated - wave your foot behind the rear wheel on the side of the vehicle and it triggers the boot to open. So when your hands are full of boxes you don't need the hands to press a button
Is it possible you are accidentally activating that by mistake?
