If you read my link from page 1 you will find a link to Hippo's self test mode - see if it will open with this. Also there are instructions of how to open the tailgate manually ...I had a lot of good advice in that thread. I was doubtful of the lock being my problem because the glass...

Turning the key in the tailgate lock doesn't bring the glass down - it just takes the glass back up...is it doing that ok Dunk?

Dam....:( I'd be tempted to hold the handle in for a minute and see what happens, mine came back from the garage like it too - it was in for diagnostics for my hdc problem, they didnt even find out what wrong with my hdc but they managed to freeze up my tailgate door. Good luck with it bud.

If you are going to download anything, always have a good anti virus protection. When you have downloaded the file, zip,iso or whatever do not open it ! - find it ! (all programs or use the search bar at the bottom of start) right click on the file, look at the options and whichever anti virus...

Changed the brake light switch :) No warning signs on the early ones ...no amigos or anything - just noticed I had no brake lights while parking up the other night.

Hi Same happened to me ...see post 23 here....http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/tailgate-locked-shut-254633-3.html and try that ;) Interesting to see if this works for someone else. Turning the key in the tailgate lock only raises the tailgate glass - it doesn't have anything to do with the...

being an 04 I think yours should have the prt already fitted - it's front of the engine and behind the cooling fans as you look down.

That bottle was bollox :eek: Lots of people buy Freelanders with no idea of what can go wrong and how to avoid expensive problems...I was one of em. Teddywood mentioned the jiggle valve ball bearing - some people remove it altogether, this removes the risk of it sticking and trapping air...

If they don't ...return the car, ask for your money back and go elsewhere ;)

:welcome: Get them to check and replace your vcu - probably seized and the cause of your blown IRD. Get them to check the entire drive train while your at it ...including rear diff Make sure all tyres match - same make, type and size to stop any further damage to the new bits that your...

Nice looking Freelander ;)

Right click the rave iso file and if you have winzip or 7zip - one of these will appear as options to open the file with or click start then all programs and have a look for it If you haven't got it then you can download it off the net - mine was free ;)

Ok so i've just seen your post #57 You should have the downloaded file somewhere on your computer click on start and use the search bar at the bottom - type in rave01 and press enter hopefully your computer will find the folder that the file is in for you (rave01 iso) then using winzip follow...

When you click download - are you seeing a bar saying "time remaining" etc

What's up with yours paul? ...have you taken it off to see?...it might just be a cheap fix like new springs.

Ok James, thanks :)

See post #28 http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/bolt-size-engine-undertray-189362-3.html

Hope you enjoy your Freelander :)

Seem to have fixed my drivers door lock - it stopped unlocking on the remote the other day but locked fine ....I tried my spare remote on it this morning and it unlocked straight away... now the other remote works too - strange.

Ok - heres my thread anyway http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/tailgate-locked-shut-254633.html TBH I just had the handle pressed in while I was thinking of what else to do - got a bit of a surprise when it suddenly opened. Can you hear the micro switch click when you press in the handle? if...
