Yes That's my party piece too. It amazes everyone I show lol.

An after thought.........not sure if anyone has noticed, but to me it looks as though the power gate is operated by one strut only, left hand side on mine. I wonder how long it'll last?
I havent actually tried to weigh it, so I'm hoping it's made of the same material as the bonnet which is very lightweight.

I like the power tailgate of the Audi Q7.. Its soo much quieter.

My power tailgate uses the left and right - I swap the arms that I use to open and close it periodically

How does that help to make it last?

Do you know if the tailgate is of a lightweight material like the bonnet?

Not sure he has the auto-tailgate I think Wmorrison might have the manual style?

I got the "soot" message today - after 430 miles from new on a run over to the Wye Valley. I didn't notice any difference in power whilst it was regenerating but there was a bit of a smell when we came to a stop at the Severn Bridge toll. The consumption did take a hit as I had only just zero'd it following a fill up but still finished the 100 mile trip showing 42.7 mpg at an average speed of 31mph.

On the Zafira, by comparing mpg and miles travelled before and after a regeneration, I calculated it used typically 0.8 litre every time. The XC60 regeneration is a bit of a non-event compared to the Zafira's - you certainly knew it was happening on that car.

Oh, and the powered tailgate for me is brilliant as I can reach the button from sat in the wheelchair. Makes things an awful lot easier.
