I may be waking a sleeping dog... I have a Free lander 1 where the alarm will go off on a nice warm day beating on the tail gate. The rear tail gate slightly releases and the window slightly drops, while the internal lights come on,the alarm screams and my neighbours too. I see people haven't resolved this. I think i have. I took off the internal cover of the tailgate. I found the cable that feeds power to the up down window. I cut it and inserted a switch. I did the same for the door release mechanism. The switch is mounted by the handbrake. so i leave the switch off. The rear door therefore cant open and the window cant drop. If i want to get access to the boot i turn the switch on and everything works again. Alarm going off, window dropping, or tail gate releasing while driving,locked or unlocked resolved. Hope this helps.
 
I had the same problem last night with a freelander 1 yr 2000.

I found if you unlock the car with the fob, THEN put key fob in your pocket, give it to your partner or take it in the house, you may lock them in car otherwise.

Now open driver and passenger doors, close driver door, walk round to passenger door and lean in then operate the central locking to lock all doors, close the passenger door observe the dash board no flashing alarm light, car is locked but not alarmed.

I further tested this today left the bonnet latched, set alarm opened bonnet and alarm webt off , locked it with central locking switch/passenger door, lifted bonnet no alarm.

I assume if no alarm there is no immobilisation either.

The immobilizer is independent of the alarm. Regardless of what the remotes have done. The immobilizer is always active, unless the key is in the ignition lock.
 
now i cant believe anybody on this site would be that stupid

I've never done that in my 42 yrs of driving history o_O fingers crossed - lies dont count:oops:

bit of a palaver tho

why not just add an isolator switch into the live feed from the battery accessible from outside -- after you've locked it - disconnect the live
when you want to use it again turn it back on and away you go -- maybe radio will need to be re-coded
 
Nodge68 thanks for info , so it was locked and immobilised

CFWnorloB lot LESS palaver than cutting wiring and adding a hidden switch.

Bet you loads of ppl have stepped out of the car leaving keys on the seat, thing is they then can't lock it.
 
You can't "slam lock" the FL1. It locks with the remotes or key only. It's therefore impossible to lock yourself out by accident.
 
you can if you have pressed the central locking button.

Car cleaners doing inside, keys in ignition (off) when cleaning dash operated switch, came out of car wind blew door shut keys inside, gave me a lift home to get spare key. it can happen

you posh foo cur avin car cleaners:eek::eek:

i use the polish folk - cheap as folk and do a folk in gud job too
 
think mine are Poles as well, wash and polish, then vac and shine inside plastic also clean windows inside, £15 would take me 4hrs, well worth the dosh
 
Sit in the FL1... press the internal CDL button to lock all doors... leave keys on seat... get out by opening drivers door... shut drivers door... drivers door won't lock unless yer lock is broke'd. If yer try to push the button down on the drivers door then shut it, the slam lock won't allow it to lock.
 
yes but it was the passenger door that was open and blew shut drivers door already closed when switch operated. If you operate switch with drivers door open it will not stay in locked position, passenger door will.
 
I actually tried to slam lock my 05 SE this morning. It actually does partially lock (knob was only half in):eek:, so I couldn't get in. I think this is actually due to a worn lock assembly as I don't believe it's designed to lock that way.
 
I did the same on mine and the same happen door half closed but locked had to release it with fob, but took a few goes, it sort of seemed to not know if it was locked or unlocked.
