Ok here goes.
I have a 2001 P38 HSE.
Seems to have a central locking problem; it will lock and unlock randomly by itself! Can hear it clicking away sometimes in the garage by itself.

Yesterday I couldn't open the tailgate. When I pressed the tailgate button, the car locked and then unlocked! Was not just a one off either; it was every single time I hit the button. But no noise of the solenoid working in the tailgate. Tried giving the tailgate a nudge etc, but I think the wiring is shot somewhere.

Should I start in the drivers door or the tailgate first? I am not 100% on how the central locking and tailgate are wired up, so if anyone has had experience with this before or can point me towards some helpful info it would be appreciated :)

Actually I may have found the answer to my own problem:

Tailgate won't open + central locking (http://www.rangerovers.net/forum/7-range-rover-mark-ii-p38/21910-tailgate-wont-open-central-locking.html)

Drivers door lock actuator/wiring.

Will give this a crack tomorrow and post results.
