Genuine used Land Rover tailgate boot lock / latch mechanism removed from a 2010 Land Rover Discovery 4 L319. This is an original factory-fitted component used to secure and release the rear tailgate as part of the vehicle’s central locking and tailgate opening system.
Part Number: 7016050
Manufacturer: Land Rover
Part Type: Tailgate Lock / Boot Lock / Latch Mechanism
Position: Rear Tailgate
Application: Tailgate Locking & Release System
Donor Vehicle: 2010 Land Rover Discovery 4 L319
Condition: Used Genuine OEM Part
COMPATIBILITY
Suitable for selected Land Rover Discovery 3 and Discovery 4 L319 vehicles using the same tailgate locking mechanism.
Potential applications include:
• Land Rover Discovery 3 / LR3 L319 – 2004–2009
• Land Rover Discovery 4 / LR4 L319 – 2009–2016
• Discovery L319 5-door models
• Petrol and diesel variants where the same tailgate latch system is fitted
• UK RHD and LHD vehicles where the lock mechanism and electrical connection correspond
Discovery 3 and Discovery 4 share a number of components within the split-tailgate locking system, but revisions can exist depending on production date and specification.
Please match part number 7016050 and compare the mechanism, electrical connector and mounting arrangement with your original part before ordering.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The tailgate lock mechanism forms part of the Discovery L319 split-tailgate system.
Its primary function is to securely latch the tailgate when closed and release it when the vehicle receives the appropriate opening command.
The mechanism works together with components including:
• Exterior tailgate release switch
• Central locking system
• Tailgate release actuator
• Lock/latch mechanism
• Electrical wiring and connectors
• Mechanical release cables/linkages
• Upper and lower tailgate components
When operating correctly, activation of the tailgate release allows the latch mechanism to disengage so the rear tailgate can be opened.
TAILGATE LOCKING SYSTEM INFORMATION
The Discovery 3 and Discovery 4 are well known for tailgate opening problems, but the lock mechanism itself is only one possible cause.
A failure elsewhere in the system can produce very similar symptoms.
Before replacing the lock, check the operation of the release actuator, cables, exterior switch and associated wiring.
COMMON SYMPTOMS / REASONS FOR REPLACEMENT
• Tailgate will not open
• Tailgate remains locked after pressing the release
• Tailgate will not latch correctly
• Intermittent tailgate release
• Lock mechanism sticking or jamming
• Excessive movement or wear in the latch
• Tailgate requires repeated attempts to open
• Central locking operates but tailgate remains locked
• Damaged or seized latch mechanism
• Replacement following tailgate repair
IMPORTANT DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION
If the tailgate does not open, do not automatically assume the latch is faulty.
Common areas to inspect include:
• Tailgate release actuator
• Release cable/linkage
• Exterior release switch
• Electrical connector
• Wiring around the tailgate
• Central locking operation
• Latch alignment
• Mechanical condition of the lock
If the actuator can be heard operating but the tailgate does not release, inspect the mechanical cable/linkage and latch mechanism carefully.
INSTALLATION
Designed to replace the corresponding original tailgate lock mechanism.
Access normally requires removal of the relevant rear tailgate interior trim before disconnecting the mechanism and associated electrical/mechanical connections.
Correct adjustment and alignment are important to ensure that the tailgate closes, locks and releases correctly.
Professional installation is recommended where necessary.
PROGRAMMING / CODING
No programming or coding is normally required when replacing the original lock/latch mechanism with a matching compatible unit.
The existing vehicle central locking and tailgate control system should operate the replacement mechanism once correctly installed.
IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE
Please compare part number:
7016050
with your existing component before purchasing.
Also compare:
• Lock/latch design
• Electrical connector
• Connector pin configuration
• Cable/linkage attachment
• Mounting points
• Overall mechanism shape
• Vehicle production year
Do not rely solely on vehicle model or registration year, as different revisions may be fitted during the L319 production period.
CONDITION
Genuine used Land Rover OEM part.
Normal signs of previous use, storage and cosmetic wear may be present. Please inspect all listing photographs carefully for the exact condition and components supplied.
