Just needs some adjustment. Ask your dealer to take it to their bodyshop for tweaking '14.5 SDV8 Nara Bronze for sale

Thanks. That what I have assumed. The dealer tried to persuade me it was "within tolerance". But I suggested it wasn't within my tolerance for such an expensive car. Particularly as the other two had tailgates that did work smoothly!

This is the same problem I have now. Did they fix in the end? 2017 Range Rover Vogue V6 Diesel

I am afraid not but the technician didn't think it was too difficult... Current: L460 Autobiography D350 2023, Defender D240 HSE 2020, Defender 110 Adventure 2015, Defender 90 XS 2012, Lightweight Ser III 1975, Aston Martin DBS Manual 2008

I’m keen to adjust the tailgate soft close myself and wondered if there are any instructions in adjusting? The tailgate is all nicely aligned but the tailgate slams with no second click. Very grateful for any help to avoid me having to take my car back to the garage...again... 2017 Range Rover Vogue V6 Diesel

Thanks Stan. Looks like the soft close is working when I manually close but not when the lower tailgate electrically closes... 2017 Range Rover Vogue V6 Diesel

Seems I get the second click on the tail gate occasionally but not all the time. Is there supposed to be the second click all the time? 2017 Range Rover Vogue V6 Diesel

Now fixed. I investigated lower tailgate bolts adjustment and noticed when the garage had realigned the upper tailgate they must have adjusted the lower tailgate hinges..noting disturbed paint |

Not sure how to get at the motor. Maybe something on the web?

I’m a little confused now Gents as I thought all Range Rover tailgates on L405 had ‘soft close’. I’ve just been told by my LR garage that my vogue tailgate does not have soft close |
