https://www.youtube.com/enhance?feature=vm&v=ER94Pp-6fXk this video may help in the diagnosis of what is not working. the window opens and closes as it should on the button on the dashboard and on the fob but not on the door handle. It seems to trybriefly and the door unlocks but the window...

Well I tried recalibrating it but no luck. But the radio code worked so I'm back where I was

Well I have 4 new tyres on now. £200 sounds good to me... Thanks John

Hope you don't mind me asking but have you had to spend much on it since its last mot? I've just bought a 53 plate td4 and was wondering what people are finding with these age of f1s?

Thanks

Yea the internal switch works

Thanks. Raining here today and I've read that if it doesn't work it opens the window so may leave it till a dry day.

Just rang where I bought it from....they hadn't re calibrated it. So will be doing that shortly

Thankfully someone has written the radio code in the users manual. How do I disarm the alarm? John

To calibrate it do I just disconnect battery and then reconnect it... And does that effect the radio.... I'm kinda new to most mechanical work but looking forward to fixing a few bits.... Lol. Yesterday managed to fix my trailer lights.

Thanks. Is it also possible that when they recently replaced the motor and glass that its not been calibrated?

Hi. Although the place where I bought the freelander says they will fix the following issue...it would be helpful if they knew the cause as they are certainly not experts. The issue is this The window will go up and down perfectly but when trying to open the door the glass does not drop down...

Hi and welcome. Hope you're enjoying Spain. Usual weather here in Scotland. Raining and the midges are out. John

After buying my freelander two days ago and having done 140 miles on odd tyres I put new tyres all around today. Found and sorted an annoying rattle yesterday. Today brake light above spare wheel fixed. Pulled my trailer to find that an indicator and brake lights on trailer board needs...

I'd like to thank you all for your advice, concerns,warnings and encouragements. I have now indeed bought the freelander after it having had the work done on it. Still one or two teething problems. I have fitted 4 new tyres and think that perhaps you'd like me to start a new thread? John

I'm just imagining different possibilities and I think that what I'd like is something that will grip the road well if I ever come around a corner and have to do an emergency stop with a loaded trailer. Hopefully the tyres will match the really good brakes that are on it. Secondary by a distance...

Thanks m8

99% road work including pulling a trailer. Occasional off road but not planning any serious muddy trails. Perhaps gently sloping sheep fields.

So yesterday the mechanic did a pre mot. New brake pipes needed front and back. A track rod end new brake pads needed. Tyre and tow bar plate. He drove it and believes the 4 wd is fine as can't hear anything wrong. I've asked the dealer to get that garage to do the work and the mot and he has...

There seems to be a guy there who fixes small things and more major work is done at a few local garages. There didn't seem to be any history on the car. Just think someone turned up and decided to trade it in on a 5-7k 4x4 Think they got parts today to do windows and rear wiper. Pre mot...
