Hi..
Can someone please offer some advise.. my Freelander driver’s side won’t lock with the fob it will lock and unlock all the other doors but just won’t allow me to lock or unlock drivers side.
 
I have this intermittently with my offside rear passenger door, replacing the actuator looks to be a bit fiddly, but ultimately not too hard. Couple of good videos on it:



Worth changing the handle to latch cable too while you're in there. Apparently they tend to break, and it's a cheap part.
Haven't done the job myself, since mine is just the rear passenger, I've made do with reaching back and manually locking it. Seems to unlock more reliably than it locks.

Thank you for the videos I’ll take a look at them and see if it’s something I’ll be able to do myself and if not then I suppose a visit to the garage is needed
 
Nope it’s not locking at all - is it an easy fix?
It depends on what is wrong.
If it's the door control module, then it's not that difficult to replace. If it's the door latch actuator assembly then it's almost a complete strip down of the door to get it out.
