Please can other 405 owners check something for me.


Using the key fob button for the tailgate, does the button on your 405 just open the tailgate or will it both open and close it ?

Thanks

Does both.

thanks

Mmmm thought so.

Mine only opens the tailgate and won't close it.

Then you've got a fault. Mine does the same and is booked in to have it sorted. It will open the boot from the inside but will not close. It will open with the key but not close and the only way to close it electronically is with the button in the boot.

The other thing that I noted that has never happened on any of my other FFRR is that when you try to close it with the driver's seat button or the key it raise another inch or so before deciding not to close. 2016 SDV8 Autobiography

Mine has been playing up also. It worked great for 8 months then a couple of times it wouldn't close from the key button. Tried it again today and it worked. I'm watching this forum thread with interest now to see what other experiences members post.

Ours works intermittently. Always opens fully with the remote fob, sometimes won't close with the fob. Never any issues using any of the tailgate mounted buttons though.

I deserve that but I've told the boss that I'll keep this one a while This is the first one with the tailgate problem though! 2016 SDV8 Autobiography

Basil, I don’t remember seeing any pics of your latest l405 ?

It's lovely. Second grey one for me but this time Corris. I'm still trying to think which is the best colour out of Orkney, Luxor, Santorini, Firenze, Loire or the current one?

That’s looks great and I know I’m in the minority but they are my favourite style wheels for looks and comfort .
