51 Plate ZTT 2.5 V6 Tailgate & Emmisions Problem

[Tourer Phil]

hi there im new to the forum as just got the car really.

I just ad the MOT done, however they had to abort it because the tailgate doesnt open.
Does anyone know why this is?? sometimes it opens but very rarly. The glass opens everytime without fail its just the main bit.
Any help be greatfull for !1

Also the emmisions failed (only slightly) and they said i need lamber sensors??? are these the same as oxeygen sensors??

Thanks again

Have you tried using the 'lever' below the bonnet release catch to open the tailgate?

[Tourer Phil]

Why don't you do a search. I have written about it, but you rather do the work, then you also learn something new. So for starters, look above here:cool:
see? search, try it, use a name like "kaiser" and "tourer tailgate" and see what happens!

By the way, nice cars!

[Tourer Phil]

right the tailgate is now sorted!

(kaiser) no idea what your thread was about so sorry, but found some other guy that said was the rubber grommet around the switch was pushing the switch up thinking was always open, so i removed and refit and now works fine.

Thanks for the help!!

... how many will I need to replace? (how many are there?)
Depending upon the year of your car: two or three. If you fill-in the year box in your forum profile it makes it much easier to give accurate advice.

If a sensor is faulty there will be a fault code stored in the car's ECU. Can you take it to an ex-MG Rover dealer or an X-Part Service Centre? If you're in Ashford, Middlesex then club member Messenger can help you out.

use an obd2 scanner if you can and it will tell you which one at fault,
if your replacing any get a decent brand. i tried el cheapo off ebay
but replaced them after a month.
