hiya All,
Bought my td5 about a year ago and now stuff starting to play up. first to go was ignition barrel so looked on here and found good advice to fix. ie land rover dealer wanted £220 plus fitting and i done it myself stripped and repaired from local lock place for £28. felt a bit smug about that one.
My key remote is unlocking car but the driver door is staying locked so I have to use key maually. Any ideas??
Also bit of a water leak going on. had new rad in first couple of weeks but is now seaping water. I cant see anything obvious.

Any body else know of any primary areas i should have a look at.

Any replies are greatly appreciated.

Jon

Door lock is either faulty and requires replacing or just a spray of WD40 inside the lock to get it working again. Can't help with the water leak other than looking for the usual suspects, which you have already done.

Dunno if the TD5 is the same (I suspect it is) but when the locks stop operating it's mostly 'cos a small spring is bent/broken ... look on ebay for door springs, small cirsular, handed sprong ... Should be an easy job to do but is so fiddly and a bitch to remove the lock ...

No the spring is a D1 issue. D2's have a self contained lock ie. it now includes the c/locking actuator.

OK, not surprised 'cos they really are a bitch to do on the D1, cheers for the info.

OK Paul, the downside the D2 owner now has to replace the lock and hand over £££ if it's faulty.
