It sounds like the rear door actuator has failed or on it's way out.

If it's the tailgate, just feel for and press the microswitch above the number plate under the chrome strip. |

Two quick presses of the unlock button on the keyfob should open all doors? |

I’m fairly sure that pressing the unlock button on the dash should unlock all the doors & the tailgate (whatever the vehicle state is), so as previously stated I’d be suspicious of the tailgate lock/actuator.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, it seems to lock, unlock and open normally from outside. I think I will have to replicate the situation and try it again. |

Pretty certain I have had this with my D4 & that it is a security measure to prevent the tailgate being opened when the car is moving or could move, i.e. you need to stop & turn the engine off before the boot can be opened. |

I understood it would lock from a security point, and I think it details this in the Owners Manual, but I thought it would be possible to unlock this by pressing the unlock button or the tailgate release button on the key fob?

I think that to open the tailgate from the dashboard you press both the lock and unlock buttons At the same time |

If you're Freelander is Automatic you must be in park before rear tail gate will open if engine is running. |
