Freelander 1 Problem with central locking

jonnynoname28 · Feb 25, 2019

Just started having an issue with the central locking. The key fob opens all doors except drivers door but will lock all doors. The central console button gives the same results. Any easy/simple ideas please?

It'll be the driver's door lock solenoid that has failed. Change whole lock assembly is best fix as solenoid is part of the lock. Not difficult but bit fiddly. Instructions in Rave manual.

Would Ebay be the best place to get one and how much is the ball park figure? Thanks

I'd get a new one. Second hand will be worn too. Solenoid contacts get burnt. About £38 new and as it is fiddly to do you don't want to be losing your knuckles twice!!

Brilliant thanks. Are they the same type for all land rovers or just freelander specific?

andyfreelandy · Feb 25, 2019

Shared with some Rover cars but Freelander ones readily available.

They seem to have gone up in price since I did mine!! Try Matford Land Rover in Exeter. They post out free usually.

Does the key work okay in the driver door.

jonnynoname28 · Feb 26, 2019

Yes the key works fine, twas strange how it just went with no warning. Fine before tea the 30 minutes later it stopped working

Key on driver's door is mechanical so not through central locking.

The lock assembly from a Rover 75 is the same as the one used on the Freelander, but the ones sold for the 75 are often much cheaper.

I see there are different versions of my model, 314 359 etc without sounding silly, how do I find out which mine is?
