Yep it's radio waves, happened to me twice in our freelander, pushed it round the corner and starts up fine, happens a lot in hospital car parks also, the off road shop gets a few calls a week with this very same question,

Although apart from pushing it round the corner I don't know what the answer is :0/

[Rear Door Not Staying Open]

Landy Andy, that's the jobby I have, was expensive but I'm sure if you researched the strut it might be cheaper ?? As I say thoughim happy wiv mine :-) yet again , just a shame it's not a std fitment :-/

[Rear Door Not Staying Open]

I have a gas strut on mine and a swing away wheel carrier, no problems holding it open in the past couple of years, and I use the rear door forr a drop down shelf/cooker

Got mine as a kit from the overland show, but for the life of me I can't remember who sold um :-/

However a simple angle iron bracket on either end and a measure up of operating lengths combined with a trip to a breakers yard ( hatch back car ) should do the jobby and almost certainly cheaper that the kit from memory :0)
