I have a 2005 C5 estate. The rear door (tailgate) has stopped working. I can open the Glass door and then reach in to unlock the door with a screwdriver. Can anyone tell me if the wiring loom is easy to replace or repair, or the approximate cost of dealer repair.
Thanks.

Re: Rear Door of Estate stopped working
Check the wires inside the flexible conduit (top left) that extends from body to tailgate. I found several wires chewed up on mine, stopping the tailgate from opening and causing intermittent wiper operation. Some cutters/strippers, butt connectors and insulation tape might be all you need to sort it.
