tourer tail gate

[billy5]

hiya all,
how do i gain access to the remote tailgate mechanism,
it is making some effort to open, but sounds like a cow
who,s not very well. it moves about six inches.
its doin wat its told , but not performing.
blackspider,,,you were very correct about the problem with the
rear tyres,, found it. put the spare on the left rear and the car
is quiet, do you think these tyres that i.ve taken off [goodtread left] no punctures would be ok on other cars. thanks to every one. billy5

If you have the hydraulic tail gate then the hydraulic unit is by the spare wheel under the black tools panel(jack,brace etc)on the left hand side.Held in with several black plastic 10mm nuts
