If in doubt, check the earth's

Redo the earths should help

Regarding the bonnet, it appears to be locking properly. I haven’t seen the bonnet warning message for several weeks now, @Shedload. One question: is it safe to insert a paperclip into the bonnet sensor switch and lock the car with the bonnet...

I just stopped by Pickapart for a steering rack, and someone had removed the glove box timber trim and the centre console but then tossed them under the car so I can't advise how or what you need to do to remove the glove box (presume it is...

I just enlarged your picture and I can see the knee bolster is attached to that panel. I think there is enough flex in the wire to lay it in footwell, but probably safer if you disconnect in case it gets pulled.

Thanks Shedload, really appreciate this !

Lacking any other evidence i call the battery. If you don't want the faff of checking it, go to Halfords and they will put a machine on it

My experience of battery failure on an FL2 is one day everything is fine, the next, not.

Well, it has been a good 10 years since I did one. Pop the side panel off with door open and I think there is 2 small torx screws. On the lower edge there is, I think four T30 torx screws. Accessible through the gap above the pedals just under...

The battery date is stamped on the negative post in the format described by Nodge. If the above advice does not help, you could try removing one relay at a time to rule out each circuit. It can be time consuming but effective. As an aside have...

Thats an 85Ah battery so should tast almost twice as long as my previous estimate. I would think that is the case ... Measure the voltage, Disconnect and measure the voltage again. Wait over night or 24 hours, measure the voltage and re-connect...

How old is the battery? Is it the correct type? How was it tested? If the battery is more than 3 years old, replace it with the correct type before moving on to more in depth investigations. If the battery is less than 3 years but isn't the...

I would assume that if you remove the Driver side lower panel the trim would come off similar to that on the glovebox door. But would it not be easier to try and refurb what's already on ?

Old alternator back in. All good, exciter/warning light wire must not have been connected despite appearing to be in plastic holder. New alternator must be duff…Grrr. Thanks for help all! Al

Brilliant, thank you!

I thought the headline read Jekyll & Hyde at first. Which I suppose it is. ;):)

I think I know what you’re referencing. It’s very possible that I’ve incorrectly fitted the clip on both sides as I watched a YouTube video on how to do it as well as my own intuition. I doubt the spindle would affect anything as the locking and...

With electrical faults on the FL2, getting the codes read is the first thing to do. The whole vehicle is controlled by computers, so that's the place to start. All door electrical functions are controlled by the door modules, so if there's a...

Best way to identify the issue is to use a suitable code reader.

Maybe double check F17 in the passenger footwell fuse box, just to make sure.

The latch at the actual lock. The movement from pulling the door handle is transferred into lateral movement. The plastic clip I'm referring to joins two rods and allows movement through an angle. Though it has to be said if both sides not...

If you hear an activity in the latch while you give any command with the fob or dash switch the problem is definitely not electrical and you might have bought two "tired" actuators which gave up the gost at the same time, it can happen with used...

I dont know what's the real problem but as long as they react to the fob it's nothing electrical that's certain

It has been a while, but if memory serves me it is on the linkage by the latch. A small plastic piece which grips the rod, allowing the rod to slide. Hard to explain, but it basically transfers the movement, so as handle is pulled sideways the...

This could suggest a missing or insecure cable clip. Little plastic bit which holds metal rod in place ? I know the Disco 2 rear pads can be removed with door closed, any chance you can climb over and remove front from inside ?

In that case, there should be a world wide recall of every vehicle fitted with the sh1t design fault. It can only be a matter of time before it causes a fatal accident.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Boeing use aluminium bolts. :(

Canada insisted that JLR replace all such bolts under warranty regardless of vin, age, etc :eek:

Unfortunately, for such a heritage to be lost to economy and bad decisions 😩
