My tailgate will not keep open. If I am parked in anything but a slight incline it will close by itself, which of course it is inconvenient and dangerous. I think the check strap at the bottom is worn but replacements are both expensive and very hard to find. Is there something else I can do? any ideas?

Volvo check straps for their 360 excavators.
I got one in my box to fit.
You could probably make some thing but unbelievable simple and safe.

I like that check strap @dieseldog69 icredibly straight forward.
Now I just need to find the local Volvo excavator dealer....

This sounds like a freelander owner issue. Just don't wear any pants and your tail gate would be open.

Cool aren't they, I am planning a rear bumper build with swing away wheel carrier as my new tyre size has increased the weight more than I am comfortable with on the door hinges and I think one of these on the wheel carrier will mean I can open the wheel carrier and it will lock open and only close when I want it to and all with a tug on the little lever on top
just a follow up, but i found these... a better design than the original if you ask me: https://www.devon4x4.com/d44-discovery-2-rear-door-stay.html
