ianda12... My fault has been rectified and I didnt have to spend any money... I dont know if phil had the same problem as me, I think he was just answering me when I wanted to know how much a new CCU costs :) I have sold the bloody thing and will be picking up a 2003 Volvo S40 on Saturday...

sorted it. The plug that connects to the handle was wet and that is where it was shorting. Thanks for the help and advice guys. Much appreciated

To be honest I did not try putting a new earth connection to it yesterday. I only tried a new positive from the CCU. I did notice that the earth connection to the connector was jointed with silver crimps with other earth wires onto a thicker earth cable.

It is 3 door. I disconnected the connectors from the door lock and the latch switch and the relay in the CCU still operated with the passenger door unlocked. I can try the roof switches and I can test the battery tomorrow. :) I didnt think of the roof switch. I didnt see that being an issue...

funny you should say that.. After I got the car started and took it for a 30 min spin to charge the battery I got back home and parked up. I turned the ignition off and used the remote to unlock the passenger door. I then tried the key in the ignition again and the tailgate unlocking mech...

Yes you are right mate. Got a mate to pop round and its now all sorted. Just the tailgate to still sort out now. I am thinking it may be the CCU. Does anyone know how much that will set me back?

I can rule out a short in the wires as I ran new ones from the CCU. I can still hear the CCU relay clicking when I have the connector unplugged from the tailgate solenoid. I removed the CCU from the back of the fuse box and on refitting it the car wont start. When I turn the ignition over...

thanks for the replies. i will try your suggestion whenI can and let you know the outcome. Regards Paul

The window drops as it should and the lock unlocks the door. If I was to drive off the door would open. When I close it it will not open again until I lock the doors and unlock them again. The window also does not go back up as it should I have to do that from using the switch inside the car (...

Hi all I have a problem with the tailgate on my freelander. Basically when I unlock the car using the fob to unlock all doors and put the key in the ignition and turn it (dash lights illuminated) The tailgate mechanism activates and the door opens by itself. It does not happen if I only...

Thanks for that Dann :)

thanks for the replies all. Its a TD4 by the way. Sorry

Hi all Hope you had a good christmas. My other half took the freelander out last night to fill up as it was very low. Typically around the corner from the garage it ran out of fuel. I got £5 in a can and filled it up and got it started after the fuel got into the system. Now I have a...

what did you use to remove the old bearings from the VCU?

What pipes do I need to check in relation to whistling and the turbo please? I have no idea what I am looking for so could someone please explain to me which pipes please. A rave diagram would be even better if its not too much trouble for anyone. Regards Paul
