Dan , I sent u a PM bout getting the 2 lower tailgate cables and the rear left door window trim strip. Thanks

Lolo, if your replacing the rear cables/straps (i take it you mean the opening straps) why not look at putting the updated one on and the gas shocker to stop the boot from clanking down...



Craig

Sounds good, I presume the updated ones fit an 06 model? Depending on price tho. Come to think bout it, I like the way the lower tailgate opens fast. I also have to climb up to reach the back of the boot, I wouldn't want to damage the gas strut especially if expensive..

Craig, what do u think, do u prefer the updated ones?

On the recent hired FFRR i had while mine was in getting fixed that had the small gas strut i never noticed at first as i thought the tailgate was just stiff …..

Does it make a big difference , wouldn't say so , but i think Dan does them for about £25  ====================================

Wait for the parts price guys/gals at JLR to bump the price up 'to reflect demand' for the parts  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Ok so I don't like the idea of it being stiff so I'll stick with the regular cables ..pm sent Dan

Lolo, my 06 has one fitted and it makes no difference to the lower tailgate opening, only damps the last quarter of the fall so it does not "bang" when it hits the bottom (no puns required guys!!!) It certainly adds a little refinement to the rather crude way the non damped ones open... If in doubt, go to your local dealer and open a boot in the showroom...
