Hi. I have a 2014 Freelander 2 which I bought a couple of months ago. The other day I had an error something like " smart key not found, refer to owners manual". I tried the spare fob and got the same message. Changed batteries on both. I thought that fixed it as it worked once. But then same...

Thanks. If so they'd need replacing? I'll see if I can read up how to. Might be beyond me !

Thanks. It turns out it wasn't the park switch. I moved the wipers to home position. Motor now tries to move them but can't. I'm getting 12v at the motor. Not sure what to try next

Hiya
My TD5 2003 front wipers have stopped working. They are stuck about halfway in their cycle. Fuse is ok. I don't think I hear any noise when I use the switch other than the switch noise. But I can't remember if that's normal or not. I'm ordering a new park switch. But I took the old one off...

Hi Marion,
I'll check the switch. No earth as such on the door loom... The polarity of the Voltages in the loom is set by the switch.

Hi J_D
It didn't work with engine on or off. Great suggestion re connecting car battery directly. I did this just now and the motor worked in both directions! Could that indicate a bad earth somewhere? Or a problem with the switch?
The passenger side door window has been acting up for a longer...

Hi J_D
I measured the Voltage with engine off and wire disconnected from motor. Is 11v on the low side? I wasn't sure what the expected voltage is

I'll try some vaseline thanks. I do wonder if the motor is faulty though. When I press the down switch you can hear a slight click from the motor and it moves the window. When I press up I don't notice anything from the motor. A positive or negative roughly 11V gets to the motor depending on up...

Thanks guys. I managed to swap the loom in the end. Problem is it turns out the wiring wasn't the problem . So the window only goes up very intermittently. Goes down no problem. I couldn't see any mechanical problem when I stripped the door down. I checked and got about + 11V and -11v supplied...

Hi,
I'm going to try and replace front door wiring loom on my TD5 defender. Part is LR016315. Any advice ? I'm not sure how to make the connections in the car as they look hard to get to.
Thanks

Hi , need a little guidance please..
for ages my 2003 TD5 defender 90 has been making a strange noise when turning. I notice it at low speeds and it sounds like an electric 'whine'. It didn't really bother me and the steering seems ok. However the other day i was turning out of a junction and i...

Thanks doriz and flossie. So glad i have a multi meter.... I checked and no volts were getting to the headlamp unit so the problem must have been switch, relay or wiring. Following advice I found online i was able to trace the fault to the dim dip relay. I took the relay out and connected socket...
