Hey guys, just wondering if it's possible to code the car so that the boot can be closed from the key and not just opened.

Thanks

if its not a power boot, like the new ones, there would be nothing to pull the boot closed

You and and the rest of us baz . (I assume as you say SDV6 you have the powered boot.)

Yeh its the 2012MY power boot. i did a search but couldn't find anything about it. Its just annoying that it's possible on Mercs and other marques. Kinda defeats the purpose of having power boot in the first place!! Looking to buy a TDV6 HSE!

I don't find it that much hassle if I'm honest.
It's become second nature now, generally I just hit the button without even thinking about it. Only twice have I sat in the car and thought, , I need to close the boot  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

so you have power boots and it doesn't pull it fully closed

what a waste of time/money If other companies like Lexus can, why could RR not achieve it

H & S!!

Not 'pull' it Nick, just press a button on the lower part of the tailgate
Agree, that it should have had remote closing though. Other marques do, seems like LR dropped a b k on this one.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

i know you mean press the button to close it, and the actuators rods(?)will compress pulling the boot closed

H & S, my dads, beeps and if anything gets in the way it will start to open again, iirc

No beeps on the RRS one, it just stops if it meets an obstruction, leaving you to guess if its shut or to look at the info screen on the dash for a 'door open' sign.
As I say, the remote closing would be a 'nice to have' feature, but the reality is that it doesn't make that much difference
I'm sure the MY20 will have it on  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I wish my boot would shut first time everytime it usually shuts 1 in four attemps it is really beginning to pi55 me off now and it been back to the dealer twice the thing is i use it quite a lot and i'm risking trapping the dogs tail in it because when i have to open it again to try to get it to shut a second time the dog gets all excited thinking he his getting back out of the motor and going for a walk

, sorry, shouldn't laugh Ady, but I can imagine the dog going mental as you try and shut it in again. My dog would be the same.

I'm surprised they've not managed to fix it though, especially after 2 attempts, I'm sure it can't be that hard .....can it  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I wouldn't of thought so They will fix it next time though otherwise they will be keeping the bloody car

at least there looking at it, mine are waiting on a 2nd hand car to come in to butcher parts of it to find out what part can be claimed on warranty I haven't heard of anything so daft in all my life of motoring
