Freelander 1 Rear door driver side Checker

Hello All,

the rear door on the driver side doesn't close properly anymore. I had a look into the b-pillar and it looks as if the checker assembly part or whatever it is in the pillar is broken. I was wondering if I could just change, but can't find the parts number for it. The checker assembly in the door seems to be Каталог запасных частей Landrover (lrparts.ru) alr8155 or equivalent, but it doesn't look if the counterpart would be part of it. I pulled the pin and would I just be pulling it out afterwards? Maybe welding it or does anyone has a parts number?

Hi, the check straps are NLA see link Genuine Side Door Assembly-rear (5 Door Station Wagon) For Land Rover Freelander 1996 - 2006 Classic | Jaguar Land Rover Classic Parts Once the door gets stiff to open due to the check strap seizing up it can break the weld inside the door pillar. So it's a case of finding a good check strap & get the bracket re-welded (PITA) or the easy option take the strap off & be done with it.

Hello, Thanks. Might try to find one , but does it come with the bracket for the pillar?

No. The B pillar bracket is part of the vehicle body, and will require welding back into place, which isn't easy, unfortunately.

Ok, will need to find someone who can do that then, thanks/

I refitted one of mine by drilling the bracket and the inside skin of the pillar and using 4 self tapping screws !!
Bit fiddly, but possible and simpler than welding. Getting a welder in is harder than getting a drill in !

Thank you andyfreelandy, I think that sounds more like something to do.
