Title: Urgent wanted F/L estate tailgate lock
Post by: hotel21 on 18 February 2011, 14:21:27

Was walking the hound this morning and tailgate decided not to latch shut and just bounced on the mountings.

Lock jaw is open and working it with a screwdriver to simulate closing, 9 times out of 10 it will not latch shut.  When it does, it opens properly by use of the push button.

I took it out a few minutes ago when i got home and looks like there is no way to dissemble to check internal gubbins with much hope of working reassembly.

Big question is, does anyone have one that they could post out first class this afternoon so I could get it for the morning, please?  Car is required Sat afternoon and sunday to carry a fair bit of stuff and I will not trust tailgate closing to a bungee strap.  No Omega's in any scrappies nearby, unfortunately...   :'(

Thanks in advance.
