    Drivers door central lock

    All done got a genuine LR part for 60 quid. About an hour to fit - main problem is getting the door handle off as it's a bit fiddly. Nice to have remote locking again! After the horror stories about failed locks and drilling out felt it was worth it, even if she was still working using...

    Xenon headlight problem

    Will do. Am I correct in assuming the ignitor fires the lamp and the ballast regulates the voltage once running? My conclusion would be either dodgy connection or the ignitor isn't reaching a high enough voltage to fire it (sometimes)? Or the light does flicker on but the ballast is knackered...

    Rear door strange

    Rear door glass stuck and beeping when alarmed. Currently in the position it would be for slight drop to open. Now if I unplug battery and it can resume normal operation for a few weeks. Takes some messing about raising lowering to get it to kick into action. Almost like something reset...

    Leaking roof?

    stealers had a look and said that gap is normal but the seal has shrunk. Its not a water tight seal so that not the cause. It only overlaps on otherside. 1) Screen resin failing 2) Seam between roof and side where roof rail go. Small allen key but says that doesn't go inside. Hose...

    that right hand bolts a pain - I will attempt when it warms up a bit! Looks like handle needs to come off to allow access to internal release cable.
