Hi Folks, I am planning to do some welding on the rear outriggers. What should I disconnect to protect the electronics prior to welding. Battery Obvs, but what else? Alternator? ECU? I've never done any welding on a vehicle so I've no idea what's sensible. Many thanks in advance

Well, today I dismantled the offending lock, removed the superlocking pawl and refitted it. I tried sync'ing the remote key with apparently no joy (with the locks anyway) and the EKA code again and was not surprised when it - apparently - did not work. A short while later I noticed that the...

Thanks. Replacing the microswitches sounds like a job that's not with doing if the MGTF parts fit. I might try that and see how we go. Thanks to everyone who's chipped in so far. I am very grateful.

Nope. That was my hope. but in disassembly everything was where it should be.

Thanks. I will. Anyone know where there is a schematic/diagram of the lock. On locks: I've read somewhere that lock actuators from the MGTF are the same (but much cheaper than those sold as RR parts). Is this correct. I've looked at a few on Ebay and they look identical except for a 2nd wire...

Tks. I'll check out the rescue map and make some calls.

I'm now able to open the drivers door - after hours with a hacksaw between the front/back doors to remove the striker (replacement shoudl be here shortly). I've also taken out the superlocked actuator -replaced it with the original - not fully working one for the time being. Are there any...

Tks The drivers side rear door opens on the outer handle. I am reluctant at the moment to try the internal handle as the passenger doors are against a wall and did not want to get locked in. The previous owner has just sent me a text he got, at the time, from the people who supplied the BeCM...

Thanks for all the comments so far, much appreciated. I think I'm going to wait for the replacement door striker to arrive, then get the door open, check the rods. But I'm puzzled as to why the internal handle doesn't open the door - that feels securely connected to the actuator (this pointed...

.

Yes, opened and closed fine until I got in and pushed the cill button home, then bingo.

Yes, tried that first. Then climbed in and used the internal handle. No joy. Tried the fob loads, just in case (prev owner told me it doesn't work - seemed like he was right). It flashes red but nothing happens. Now as I open the rear door, the headlights flash which suggests alarm mode...

Tks for your response. My assumption was that the superlock had engaged given that the engine is now disabled. I'm thinking that they're linked. I was also unsure whether the EKA that came with the car (still have the original owners pack with the card in) would work with a different BeCM. The...

Hello Folks, In trying to fit a replacement drivers lock this afternoon, when I went to test it, the car superlocked and now the drivers door won't open. Luckily I've left the back door open so I still have access to the car but when I tried to start the engine, thinking that it might unlock...

Thanks both
