hello all, I have joined this group as my wife has a berlingo and hopefully I can find answers to any issues we may have, the main one is tailgate not opening, so that's my mission for today.

Morning,

By not opening do you mean not unlocking or the tailgate won't open when you lift the handle?

hi the door would not open lifting the handle, I have now opened it by taking the trim panel of inside and levering the latch over.
it would not work by pushing down the white plastic part. taking the latch of and poking around I found a small plastic bit from a trim clip inside the mechanism.
I cleaned latch up and lightly oiled it and all fine now, an easy fix that I thought would entail broken lock mechanism.

Cheap, easy fix.

yes I really like a fix that does not damage the pocket at all. few and far between they are though.
