Rover 75 tailgate lock not holding tailgate shut

Car: Rover 75
Variant: tourer diesel
Model Year: 2002
The tailgate is not always staying shut. the lock is released as soon as the driver door is open. if I hold the tailgate door handle button and then shut it, it sometimes holds, but if I just slam it down without holding the button the tailgate stays open.
