I've had a 2012 Disco 4 for the last few months and have been gradually sorting various minor issues.

The tailgate release actuator had been a bit flaky for a while so I replaced it yesterday before it completely packed in.

It now works every single time and makes a much more satisfying clunk as it does so. But the upper portion seems to catch a little now as I lift it - as if the latch hasn't fully released.

It's thoroughly lubricated so I don't think that's the issue. Could it be as simple as adjusting the release cable length?

Apologies if this is a simple question but I want I want to know all my options before I risk my very limited skills causing real damage.
 
A simple fix... Trying to open from the keyfob seemed to reset something and now it opens fully from the handle every time.
