Hi all,
I have a problem with my rear passenger (driver's side) door on my Freelander 1.8 Xei 98R. About 2 weeks ago, it wouldn't open from the inside or outside but I can see the little button inside going up and down when I use the remote key fob or interior master central locking switch. I thought at the time it happened because I accidentally tried to lock the car before someone had closed a door on the other side and I thought it had somehow gone out of sync. Sitting inside with the doors closed and using the master central locking switch a few times seemed to fix it and it was fine for about 3 days.
Since then, its now permanently locked or seems to be. I can hear something electrically operated and moving inside the door when I use the remote keyfob to lock/unlock the car and the switch behind the window goes up and down but the darn thing won't open from outside or inside the car!
I wonder of this is something I can fix or do I have to take it to a garage?
Thanks!
