If you go on Advance Factors easy to find and gives a picture of all parts. Plus (InItTogether) 12% discount. Have you got the tailgate open? You will find step by step guid on here if you put it the search topic Thumbs Up

Possibly worth putting in emergency release especially if got dog guard fitted and it fails with GSD inside Big Cry

The part you want is BHF780050 (LH), https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/tailgate...2671-c.asp. It’s the same part for D3 and D4.

See https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic156197.html on how to replace, it’s not a very difficult job.

And yes, searching would be useful Whistle

Mine didn’t snap, but the pulley wheel arrangement behind the trim came off. Just needed to pull off the tailgate seal then pull the side panel off and fit a new nut.

Poppy (The 14 week Belgium Malinois) didn’t not chew it. Very Happy

It kinked when closing a while ago and has gradually worn.

Thanks for all the helpful advice!

That’s still a guilty look. You just haven’t worked out what Poppy has done. Snigger
