Hi gang,

This is my first post and I’m after some help/advice and general support…

My front passenger door on the Freelander 2 stopped working from the outside, so you couldn’t open the door unless you used the internal handle.

I googled and found I needed to replace the door actuator, and after watching many YouTube videos and spending many hours working on the car, I was delighted when, having put everything back together again, it all worked.

However, after testing it a few times, the door stopped opening from the outside unless I pressed the unlock button on the key fob again. Then… it just stopped opening all together, and this was from both the outside door handle and the inside door handle.

Now realising I am in a worse position than before, as I can no longer use the front passenger door, and also, cannot remove the door card to try and diagnose or fix the issue, quite frankly, I am despairing!!

I’m hoping there are some wise Landy people out there who might be able to advise on my next steps please?

Thank you very much in advance!
