Tailgate opening problem

I could not open my D3 tailgate last week and investigated the problem. I removed the rubber cover which covers the rear latch and the latch fell out along with a fair quantity of water! The latch which when pressed operates the microswitch has broken and I can now only open the tailgate by pressing the micro switch which I have had to leave exposed. Is this an easy fix or is it a dealer job? Thank you in advance for your replies!

Its easy to fix, but the switch doesnt come seperate from the handle...

Not too expensive a job... My D3 Build Thread

As above, the switch is not available as a separate part but comes as part of the complete tailgate handle, about 50 odd quid from TLO.

Easy enough to fit if the screws are not too badly rusted in. Clive
