we have a S reg 2.0 xe di wagon
1
first problem we had the window cables done and now the central locking works but when you lock it all the doors lock but when you unlock, the drivers side door doesnt unlock! you have to unlock with the key but all other doors work fine

2
second problem is the rear window wont work with the button at the front! but until only a few days ago when you went to open the rear door the window would drop a few mil to clear the seal!! but now it wont and the rear window catches and stuggle to open the rear door!!

Any advice on either would be appreciated please guys :doh::doh::doh::doh::doh:

hi and welcome im just a junior member myself you will get all the help you need on here some of the guys on here really know what they are talking about . cant help with your central locking but get someone to stand at the rear door as you push the window button if you hear a crunching noise or the motor running i would guess you have a broken cable . good luck .

Other than the usual BURN IT I'd sugest a search, or you could try a search, a search might help, search is good, try a search, or burn it.:welcome2:

drivers door locking is caused by a faulty solenoid within the lock assembly. Easiest is to buy a new lock assembly, budget for £75 from a dealer, or £35 on ebay.

Will take about an hour to do yourself if your not familiar with the process, bit fiddly but easily doable.

good luck.

hi my wife had the lock problem and I discovered it was the rod that came through the door card it was catching I put a very small amount of grease on and it has not done it since hope this helps

Have you had a go at re-calibrating the rear window.Just do a search and there are plenty of threads on how to.

Needs a drivers door latch, and a tailgate window regulator (or cable repair kit)

Superb thank you guys will try some of those ideas!! And yes defo thought about burning it lol

ok put a new rear window mech and cables all worked it now drops and lifts when you open door BUT the window went up and down once via the switch and NOw nothing happens via switch i have changed the swith too and that hasnt helped at all any ideas???
:fencing: stuggleing the ongoing fight with the freelander
lol

did you calibrate it after fitting the new regulator ?

Hi! I`m new owner of freelander 2.0 td4, 2001. as well as new user of this site Have a problem with high fuel consumption of 11 to 14l per 100km! When this problem appired I was looking for an answer and read on a site that I can turn off the fuel flow meter, which will reduce consumption. Is it true? If anyone knows, please HELP!!! P.S. Sorry for my not so well English, but I hope we`ll understand!
