Oh I see. It could have been down to an intermittent fuel pump problem then as that was the second recovery problem repair? Now having it back for two weeks we are now into this!! Aaaaaah I have heard that a lot of normal garages using modern diagnostic electronics can't read 51 plate landy's...

Thanks Grumpy will also have a look. Re original amigo's fault - it was a wheel sensor. But cost me over £100 to get recovered from outside address , before the repair. Need a local Torbay Freelander 1 fault reader....able to read fault codes, to save on recovery every time.

I'm in Paignton Torbay. Can I ask, is there anybody more local who can read landy Freelander 1, error codes other than Mike Harding at Bovey Tracy?

Thanks JD, I'll take a look. Can't understand how so many electricals are affected by maybe one thing, unless it is computer based?

Hi, We have an 2001, 51 plate TD4 Freelander GS, and suddenly have several major electrical problems all at once? 1) Central locking doesn't work on fob, or key or even the interior dash switch 2) Immobiliser light on dash does not come on at all, even locking with drivers door key 3) No...

Hi Swann 36 Thanks for your post , I think due to the possible amount of work involved replacing the motors, I will possibly go a complete replacement route rather than a repair. Did you find though when repairing your locks, you had to remove your window soluniod winding mechanism to be able to...

Hi Nodge68 That's great news and I will definitely check it out, many thanks for the info. Cheers Philip

Hi guys and gals Sorry to raise an old thread again but my 51 plate Freelander TD4 rear passenger (drivers side) door locks on the fob and key, but won't unlock on the fob? It will unlock manually using the latch. I have the door cover off already as I have to replace the window regulator...

Hi Guys Further to my probs with the Tailgate and lock Thanks to the search facility and different peoples help here, and Videos on the internet, I have now managed to sort the problem out. It seems the latch clip inside the lacking mechanism came detached from the actuator solenoid because of...

Sounds very similar to the problem I had. Window would work fob and switch, could hear latch working still couldn't open door. Following advise on here managed to get the Inner door lining off even with tailgate shut ( thanks Chaps for the advise of how to do this) enabling me to open door...

kernowsvenski Thanks for that, good idea will keep that in mind....... Cheers Philbee

Hi deangermouse Thanks for the detailed description, that's just what I needed to know. That's great and thank you very much for taking the time to describer the process. Can't do it today but will try tomorrow. Will let you know how I get on. Cheers Philbee.

Oh I see, I think I have seen them used in films. I thought it was something I could actually use to get into my Freelander to open the tailgate while it was still locked. Didn't realise it was a wind up.

Hi Nodge68 Can you explain what a ' Slim Jim ' is please or even a picture? Sounds like just what I need as I'm getting desperate to get the tailgate open now. -------------------------------------------------- Hi Saint.V8 Sorry didn't...

Hi deangermouse I have the same problem with door latch Mechanism, can I ask how you managed to prise the inner door card down? where did you start between the glass and rubber gasket or between the rubber gasket and the plastic panel? Thanks for any replies

First an answer to original OP question. On My TD4 Freelander 51 plate you have to press the fob twice to open the tailgate. Once only allows you to open drivers door. My Tailgate window goes down by holding the fob for a period of time and goes up on the key inserted into the tailgate key...

HI Nodge I did actually did check if you were UK or USA based and as you were UK your drivers side would be on the right side of the car. The query was down to whether you were facing forwards looking through the windscreen or looking back into the rear of the car and the boot. I still have not...

Hi Nodge, thanks for that. Just one question, is RH side, Drivers or Passenger side? Save me taking wrong side off. I assume closing side of tailgate making it the passenger side?

Thanks for the in-depth reply, will give it a go tomorrow, and let you know how I get on.
