RAVE says within 20 mm the transponder should work, gonna try today:

I did think of that, but I am pretty sure that the chip has to be pretty much exactly in the position it is in when a chipped key is in the ignition I tried holding the chipped key in positions around the ignition whilst using my spare un-chipped key, but it wouldn't start If I'm wrong, I'd...

I just phoned the local LR dealer whilst at mum's house in Essex. They couldn't do anything as my VIN is foreign, but he estimated 500-600 GBP (with 1.5 hrs labour at 200/hr) I ordered 2 whilst I was at it and told them to take it easy as I didn't want them to mess it up by rushing and only...

That is also a big help! Thanks! Are all the motors reversed polarity? As in on all 4 doors, and each of the two motors in each door?

Thanks @Jimbo70 that is a great help! So the 'big gear' 'large' size (now @£6.99) is the the Central Door Lock one, and the 'small gear' 'small' size (now @ £11.49) is the Super Lock one? or is it the other way round? Cheers

Well, I got RAVE working again in Windows 10 at least and it says that one motor is for CDL (Central Door Locking) and one for Superlock So from how mine is behaving (CDLing only works on lock but not on unlock, Superlock working) it seems to me that the CDL motor must have died but the...

second hand, or new? I had a quick look but will look again. I dont really want to go second hand as they will be about to go as well, or already not work EDIT: You must have meant 2nd hand I'm going to try to get my RAVE working on my Win 11, or check on my Win 10 lappy to see if its working...

Yes, one click on the fob unlocks the deadlocks, a second click only unlocks tailgate, but since deadlock is now off I can then open the doors from the inside after entering the driver's door using the key (unlocking the driver's door with the key doesn't unlock the other doors which I think it...

Hi My doors have gradually stopped unlocking with fob as the years have passed, and the final one (driver's door, LHD) stopped unlocking with fob recently, so I have decided to finally do something about it. The tailgate opens and locks still tho. What I don't understand is that all doors will...

15 quid shovel 10 t breaking load towing strop with 2 t WLL shackles (FOS is approx 5 for shackles) plus, I made these: I will splice some three strand 15 mm nylon rope ( approx 5 t breaking load) through the holes to attach to the tow bar. Over sized to allow for chaffe.

Did you get anywhere with this @andyfreelandy ? I have only had one key for 5 years now, and its only a matter of time ........ This site seems to give a simple description: I have a 2001 td4 and so have the "Freelander BMW EWS unit" and my key and fob are indeed the same as in their photos...

It was too hot to hold, as in for a long time comfortably, not too hot to touch. I think the pain threshold temperature is surprisingly low, under 50 C. Anyway I will continue to monitor it, to check it doesnt get too stiff, with the test EDIT, I would have said it was hot, not painful, so...

Handbags Gentlemen, please :p

Fair enough But 5 seconds difference between results for different VCUs is a completely different thing to 5 seconds between results for the same VCU.

I have same issue, now on all four doors after driver's stopped working yesterday, all lock but none unlock. Do you have a part number for a 5 door F1 (2001) and or a good supplier, please? Cheers

To give some idea of how (in)accurate my method is: @Hippo : 6.1 kg gives 25 s, so my prediction for 10 kg is 15 s, his actual 10 kg value is 12 s, 'error' = 3 s @mrblockpaving: 6 kg gives 7 s, so my prediction for 10 kg is 2.4 s, his actual 10 kg value is 2.4 s, 'error' = 4.6 s (but timing...

@seraphin 's results also show a linear trend with 1/time Only 3 points so not conclusive but pretty good https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/vcu-torque-test-results.109486/post-2207348

Simplifying all the above, I think that: 1. to convert (roughly) tests done for a stick of 1.2 m (or any other length) with a weight of 5kg to be able to compare them (at least roughly) with tests done with a 1.2 m stick (or any other length as long as its the same) BUT with an 8kg weight we...

Yes, I think we can see the effects of friction etc in the non-linearity of the 1/t vs weight graphs at the most lowest weights (<5kg) , but at higher weights they seem to be less significant which makes my method seem OK for 'scaling' OWUT results between different weights and lengths That is...

If I do the same thing for @mrblockpaving 's results https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/vcu-torque-test-results.109486/post-2229514 I also got linear behaviour for weight verses 1/time, especially between 5 and 10 kg. His was a slack VCU with fast times meaning any errors in timings will...
