Anyone know will a 2012 tailgate fit onto my 2010 sport with no problem

Direct swap I believe, though no one has got the powered tailgate working.

Great thank you , I've had no luck finding any thoe beeen looking ages found this on eBay but so you guys thing it's abit dodgy maybe fake ? It's in Lithuania I'm worried it wouldn't be genuine

Just seen that, seems a genuine seller looking at their feedback.
Seems expensive thoughI was offered one at half the price a couple of months ago.

Thnaks for the reply , do things like these have part number or not as I could ask him for the LR part no as I'm worried it might be a OEM part made as a replica and not an actual LR part thanks

You need to use the 2012 hinges but it is a straight swap.

Thanks for the reply but I need a santorini black one , I'm struggling to find any really on the internet as thanks I will buy the hinges then there only £30 also what did the guy mean on the forum saying the 2012 tailgate automatically opens when pressed on the button ? Does it completely raise ?

I've fitted the 2012 tailgate to my 2011 Range Rover sport. there is a lot of wiring mods to sort out as your wire harness for the back is wired to feed 2 X tail gates i.e. top and bottom. The 2012 is just one closure. It took me a day to fit it after it was painted and sorted the wiring.

Check my link below to see.

Thanks for the reply I didn't know about the wire harness change and I'm not mechanic so il be taking it to a garage to be fitted , where did you buy your tailgate , also what do you think of your 2012 one compared to the old one is it better to live with ?

First, I've never even seen the pre-2012 RRS boot lid in the flesh so I'm comparing with my old RR which I'd guess is similar? Does the top half go up and lower drop down? I was disappointed with my post-2012 style one piece boot lid as I miss the convenience of being able to open the glass section to drop something in the boot quickly, especially in the rain where I now have to wait for the complete boot lid to open.

I guess it's personal, and from reading on here was a bit to do with weight? 13MY Range Rover Sport Autobiography SDV6 - mine

Got mine from a breakers yard from a 2012 Autobiography. Personally and this is only my opinion I like the look of the newer boot its a lot lighter as its aluminium and it just looks better and the silver strip is all in line with the body curve. I did not like the round plastic button either, again this is my personal taste.

the newer model its just the complete tailgate which opens. The bottom part does not open.
The picture below was taken just miniutes after I had it fitted from body shop.

Has anyone got any good sites I can find a tailgate on as the site above is not English

Looks like a lot of people doing the tailgate mod or wanting to undertake the mod. It would be very good if ABSport would be kind enough to post the wiring mods and maybe add it (sticky) in the mods bit.
