Blinkin Ek, BB didn't even have time to shift the thread to AG and the OP gone and done it herself - all-be-it within the confines for the Freelander forum.
Must be a wimmins, and her name must be Karen.
Ok, so the 'jaws' of the latch (that hold the bar on the body) are not connected to that rod that the actuator pulls.
The jaws rotates by itself, It is pushed around by meeting the bar as the door is closed. When the jaws are pushed around far...
We had a brand new campervan out on its first hire a couple of weeks ago. Basically a LDV Deliver9 cargo/courier van with windows fitted into the sides and fitted out as a camper.
On the 2nd day the sliding door on the side of the van (ie main...
Sounds like my F1 in its hay day, it has earned its semi retirement after 25 years of primary mover of those things - including the overloaded trailer with flattened tyres - until the wheel popped off the trailer :oops: . Mind you it still gets...
Oi you! My FL2 is not tat :mad:. It’s our posh car too. Used irregularly for weddings, funerals and christenings (no bar mitzvah’s as we’ve never been invited to one). It scrubs up well and looks great from 15~20 feet away.
Also used to lug logs...
Blinkin ek, you're talking about outing your old motor as tat, and I've just bought one that's only a couple of years younger, and for good money, that's our 'posh' car!
Had the first problem with the F2 yesterday and fixed it :D
Got in the car to go to work and pulled away. All the way there the locks were clunk clunking locked and unlocked...clunk clunk, clunk clunk..... Here we go, my initiation to F2...
Can't tell you yet. Wheels off for refurb before fitting. Running an old set of 17 inch Trek wheels and tyres until next week.
Can report back on ride and wet use but wear will take a little longer !!

Tyres are shot and need replacing after 36k kms - just over 20k miles. That's 'quality' Continental tyres. Not sure if Hifly have been put on them, but if they have...
SOLVED…
I had replaced the camshaft position sensor last year, with an off-brand cheapie new one, just as part of a maintenance drive. Buy cheap, buy twice. It was knackered already.
Poor volts measured across the sensor at cranking (<1v, should...
I've only ever been inside the rear door to replace the window mechanism.
I suppose if the latch is seized then that would explain why the rod broke.
Looking at your pic, it does not look like the lever on the latch is in a position where it...
Great - thanks ... this is my 2nd 50th, the first an L series without the plastic go faster strips, but beggars can't be choosers...
I've also got a proper Land Rover ('53 plate TD5 ES Premium - 88k and only 3 owners from new, inc me).
I've...
I bet the real land rover chaps are going to love this....
I've recut the NLA baffles from air filter foam, stripped and repainted the clamping frames
