You could pop the tailboard off and have a look and see if wiring is present ? Probably LED rather than a bulb but you should be able to see if that part of the light 'could' illuminate. To be honest the dealer appears to have gone through a lot of trouble to find an answer. If it was possible...

Friend of mine 'upgraded' his Audi using dealer spec' software. He was an Auto Elec at the time.

That does look like an option, but I thought 'Signature' was the flickering effect where the light starts at one end ?

I'm pretty sure you can take the door card off with the door closed on the D2. Remove Screw behind door pull, take off plastic trim. I think the winder is on a spring clip to remove. Take surround from lock and push up pad with window down. Take your time and don't force anything. With pad off...

Range Rover Evoque Van. What's one of them ?

That is a toughy, I am sure the first garage will say they done their best and did the repair you agreed upon. I would go back explain what the issue was and cost, but go with the expectation of receiving nothing but with the attitude of helping them out. It may save a future customer and they...

It is a Freelander 1, 3 Door ? 2005

They are very different vehicles, especially with regard to maintenance. Unless it is very cheap you need as much service history as possible.

I have no idea of MAF sensor cost but they are very easy to change. As pictured it is fitted to airbox and secured by two torx screws, T20 ? Could they have meant MAP sensor which is a little more difficult ? A PCM clear should have been run on a diagnostic to clear the fault code once changed.

Don't know about the Disco' 5, but on the Sport both Tailgate and body tail lights work on all models. The only difference being Rest of World or North American Spec'. The NAS having a side marker light. Unsure if it of any help, but again on the Sport, it is the same feed from the BCM splicing...

Looks a great machine.

I was going to suggest the back plate but some pads are of different material which can induce a squeak.

I have heard of cars having issues with fobs in certain areas due to signal issues, but not random locking. Have code read and check KVM/RFA modules and receivers for wiring issues and damp.

Really could be many things. Start by disconnecting negative battery terminal, leave off for a good 5 minutes. Battery reset is a basic and quick check. Have you checked both engine and passenger compartment fuse boxes ? You really need a proper code reader as after the basic checks you are...

So if you buy a RHS door lock and fit in place of your current passenger lock I think that should answer your problem. Of course you will need to check your current lock to see what parts you need. Barrels are available from specialists that will match your current key, but of course this comes...
