Rattle in tailgate

[Al's Discovery]

Hi folks,

I have a Disco 3, 2005 V8.... runs like a dream never missed a beat. Originally I had a series 1 disco which had a similar problem. With all of the offroad and poor city pavement, the rear door has started rattling. In the series 1, LR issued a fix because it was a common thing. Does anyone have any news for the disco 3?

Its getting annoying

Thanks for your help...

open the gate and check for the latch being loose, the bolts could have backed out.
also check the tailgate struts, the bolt that holds them in on the body may not have been secured under a recall and may have backed out completely. if that happens its a trip to the bodyshop.

those little bolts on the body where the strut connects too was supposed to have a bit of locktite applied to the threads under a recall that included updating five modules.

lastly look for stuff that is loose like trim.

Thanks for the tips.... found the loose strut, looks like before it became a major issue... appreciate the advice
