Turns out it was the internal barrel that rotates the lock. this has a small lug that the plastic handle pulls on to rotate it. the lug had broken off so the handle was just slipping by it. quick fix for now I made up a plate to extend the handle and drilled and tapped the handle to take the...

Yes the internal handle works fine, and locks and opens with key fine

With the central locking on the car only opening the front door with the first key press. Someone forgot and tried to open the rear door. They pulled the handle and now when i try to open the door i can feel it trying to bite but then seems to bounce over whatever it is that activates it. I've...

118000 is the milage

For insurance now I understand. Think I'll just wait till I get part. clunk is defo propshaft, recently did drop link, track rods and suspension, oh and clutch. been never ending with this one.

Only plan on it being off for a couple of weeks at most and not meant as permanent mod so contacting the insurance? If it then has effect on sensors/alarms i may be better just holding out and doing it when i have the part. But will this defo happen or just what you expect to happen? I think...

Hi, Quick question if somone could give me the answer as i can only seem to find info about Freelander 1. Bit short for cash at the moment and Freelander 2 propshaft is failing. Can I remove this and safely drive about in car until i have the money to get a new propshaft. It's only slightly...

This is a picture of the hoses I'm on about

Hi, Found a split in the metal pressure pipe attached to the steering rack. Managed to source the new pipework setup. Supply and return with the mounts Land Rover part number LR029185. How easy is this to change, can it be done with the rack still on the car. I can get access to it with the...

Hi, Does anybody have instructions or a vid on how to repair the rear drivers door internal mechanism. Mrs jumped in my car forgetting about the double lock, pulled too hard and now door won't open unless from the inside. Can find plenty about the front doors but nothing pops up for rear. I've...

The link i supplied was just a quick search so i knew what i was after. Wouldn't buy cheap, been there before. Suspension is not a problem, done that already when i did the bearings. What i need to know is this. When i have suspension out of the way, the hub nut as you call it. is this the...

So this would come as a complete unit, from spindle shaft to spindle shaft. No need or way to just replace the tripod joint? or better to just replace all when doing this...

So drive shaft as in the three bearing set up part or whole thing. i did check this recently when doing some of the repairs. The side that i think is causing the problem has little to no movement. up down or back and forward. other side however has some movement up down at the three bearing...

This still seems to be ongoing, just not as prominent these days and seems to be coming from right drivers side area. As a recap this is what I've done so far. Swapped wheels about. New set of tyres with full balance done. Track rod replaced, bottom ball joint replaced, drop link replaced...

Finally got to the source of my wobble problem. Feel like an utter **** when I discovered what it was. Low tyre pressure on all Tyres. I bought one of those compressors you plug into car. was an RAC one so thought yeah that'll be ok. turns out the gauge was not reading correctly and all my Tyres...
