Hi Guys

Having trouble with my drivers door, when you try and open the car with the remote central locking fob all doors open except the drivers and i then have to use the key to get in.
The fob locks all the doors ok, but the emergency door lock/unlock (next to rear window button) won't unlock the drivers door either.
Have been told its a solenoid and will cost bout £50???
What you reckon? Anyone had same trouble?
Cheers:eek:

Ps. Water leak from engine/coolant loss turned out to be gasket! Good job i kept topping it up :)
 
Yep sounds like the solenoid is shagged, try ta get some wd40 in it sometimes unsticks it. . .best oh luck. . .:)

Mine did the same. Got a new solenoid from LR dealer for £69 all in. Fitted in under an hour. Just requires the door card removal and the window guide to be unbolted.
