Arrrrrrgggggghhhhh! Friends.
Just did my passenger door lock. Just to put the record straight I love my Freelander 1 5 door but frankly if I find the designer I wish to put on record to boot his or her shins hard. I accept I may have done about arse face when attacking the problem in not removing the rivets on the inner release handle. But hey you learn. My chagrin was what idiot using 8 mm bolt screws, one I found easy the other was behind the closed window bottom plate. Now granted I am a happy DIY amateur like many here and like many begrudge paying a garage to the work. Lets just say if any dairy farmer has any problems with cow backside and giving birth I'm your man.
Once I managed to remove the outer door handle, then expletive was for my neighbourhood and the kind people calling police, who carried me to the van with the kicking and screaming. After getting over the heat haze and frustrating trials and tribulations of explaining Its my freelander 1 language to the coppers in the back of van. I was released with the PC nod and a forlorn looking sympathy
Now not being may I "STRESS" a open heart surgeon and may point out early the inner door handle faux pax my frustration was spending over an hour simply trying to get the bleeding bike cable hoop onto the latch hook thingy on the new lock. Like a scene from the three stooges when faced with a problem, my only means of plying pressure was a thin screwdriver and now my blooded fingers to faff and visit from the air amublance to mend my wounds. Yet again I explained to the police on the stretcher my resistance of the Freelander 1 and wanting attack the designer with venom.
Strangely enough again sympathy and nods by bother helicopter crew and police allowed my release from the binding of the stretcher and once more released to tackle my now scared cowering freelander 1 passenger dooooooooooooorrrrrrrr.
Eventually after praying for a sign from Wodin with my blood sacrifice the joy of the newborn Handle joining hook was behold as the the neighbourhood crowds revelled in my excitement. Congratulation was sort around as I stripped off in ecstasy with the sounds of Swiss band of Yodellers and Horns still ringing my ears.
Like Stuart Pearce scoring a penalty for England my pride was restored to venture the last task of returning the sad and abused freelander 1 passenger door to some recognisable description.
I put this to the court of Freelander 1 5 door owners club your honour and now rest my weary fingers and sunburnt head and lower back.

. When I did mine I found bending the hook on the lock to a 45 degree angle saved me hours trying to keep the bike cable in place whilst you did everything else with your fingers and the power of telekinesis.
