Is that a forum rule then:confused:? I’m also a senior member/contributor on another, large forum so I understand forum protocol! I didn’t see the point in leaving the thread open as it was down to a totally “blonde” moment on my behalf :confused2:. But, for the record, I totally missed the...

Problems solved, big panic over nothing!:)

Just used car to drop wife off at work & after 3 days not working, the problem seems to have cured itself. Both door & window now working & hopefully will stay that way so I’m none the wiser. I assume it may be connection problem? Is there a window position sensor located in there somewhere?

Thanks for that will try it later this morning.

Thanks for responding. It could be either I suppose, I don’t know & hence the post; no operation problems prior but now door won’t open & window won’t operate. First port of call was obviously the fuse but that’s OK. At the moment I can’t open the door so stumped...

Hi Have a 2001 Freelander TD4 5 door. Unlocked the vehicle yesterday with the remote fob but the rear door remained locked & will not open, rear window not working either & the horn gives a toot when you re-lock the car with the fob; fuse is OK so stumped where to look next, any give me some...

Hi Will I ‘m an Engineer & have always done my own servicing/repairs/rebuilds, whatever for my own cars & for other members of my family; but I’ve not kept up with the modern stuff & diesels in particular are a bit of a new entity to me. The mechanics are still basically the same...

My wife has had her 01 65,000 mile TD4 for around 15 months now, I don’t drive it that much but always thought it was very sluggish. Never having owned a diesel before let alone a 4 x 4, I thought it must be normal until I bought a 200,000 mile Brava truck (Isuzu engine) to fetch & carry...
