Discovery 4 Rear upper tailgate release

Rear top tailgate actuator is it better to fit genuine landrover one or is the aftermarket
OEM ones as good ? The one I just removed is fomco marked

Fomoco is Ford. So your gazillion British pound Land Rover shares parts with a Ford Escort Whistle Mr. Green

You can replace the actuator with another, see this thread https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/d4d3-upper-...87641.html

Also, a manual release might be useful. Search the forums. You can do one on your own or get a ready made kit from LR Passion.

Hope this helps Thumbs Up

Edit: do fill in your vehicle details Thumbs Up

I might have just stumbled across a £4 equivalent of the LR Passion tailgate release lever:
