I have a faulty door light switch. The interior light and door open indicator comes on intermittently whilst driving. I've taken the fuse out to the interior light, but the alarm keeps going off. Any ideas how I get to the switch, what switch it is or how I can disable the alarm without...

I had a very similar noise. Turned out to be a split in one of the turbo hoses. It was £18 to replace and the garage I went to, fitted it for free.

Think it was 263 for the pair. Thanks for all your help. I'm not saying that they should cover the total cost of repairs, I agree some info was in the manual, butif you don't know the ins and outs of your boiler system, you pay a plumber to demonstrate relevant skill and care, not just slap a...

Hi Recently replaced the VC on my Freelander, which had seized, but found that its also buggered the IRD Unit. The cheapest new non LR part is £850, but can get a recon for 450, only have been told that because Land Rover don't make any parts for the IRD, then any shot bearings etc can only...
