....and I thought that the days of dodgy MoTs had long since gone. How silly is that?!!

Gents Thanks. I have put 12v across each of the motors, they are dead. Fortunately, the dealer from whom I bought the car is playing fair and has undertaken to replace both motors. Well, given that 'his' workshop gave the car an MoT last week, with the motors clearly not working (i.e...

I appreciate that this thread is a little old but I though that I'd give this cable trick a go, on my 2003 (04 Plate) L322 Vogue TD6, this afternoon. The short answer to the above question is NO .... at least not on mine. I went through the 'mission' that is the removal of the dash top etc and...

That ist brilliant. Thank you - I will seek one out.

Thanks guys... Yes, the lights were on (headlights). I have re-disconnected the motors just in case and will have a closer look during the week.

I have just acquired a 2003 Vogue - TD6. Looking around under the bonnet today I came across and item that is wired in and is simply 'floating about' on top of the left side suspension strut adjacent to the battery. It has three LED's, only one of which flashes at any one time and the colour...

I've been a member of this worthy Landyzone forum for a few years, having joined when I purchased a Freelander four years ago. I took the abuse, when I joined, having been advised that it was in actual fact known as a 'Gaylander' etc etc. I kept it for about three years until it simply had to...

Just to finish off this thread, here's the outcome. The replacement microswitch arrived and was fitted and the problem has been resolved. For anyone with the same problems and for information, the microswitch is supplied together with the actual release mechanism that fits within the handle...

Once again, thank you to all that have replied and the overwhelming view that it must be the micro-switch. I have found one on eBay that comes as a 'repair kit including 2 springs' (Land Rover Freelander Tailgate Handle Microswitch Repair Kit Springs | eBay) for £15 incl postage. It's been...

My thanks to the two guys who provided advice regarding the springs. I changed them today and yes, one of those in situ had all but rotten through so was pretty useless. However, having put it all back together, the same problem remains in that for no apparent reason the rear door lock kicks...

Thank you for the tip. eBay is a wonderful place. Just bought two springs just in case.

Thank you for that - I'll take a look tomorrow. Is the spring a specifically designed 'Land Rover' part of can I get away with something similar? You described it a like a ball point pen spring - would that work?

Good evening. Whilst the underlying fault may have been covered already on here - but I can't find the exact same features - I hope someone can point me in the right direction. This afternoon, having visited the shops, I placed several items in the 'boot' and shut the tailgate and all seemed...

Thank you - I hadn't thought about that. Are the fitting points the same for all models?

Thank OP. It seems that the kit I have acquired will not be compatible unless I can source different pods and trust that the lamps are suitable i.e hoping they are same lamps for all kits but different fitements for different styles of bumper. I shall investigate and thank you for getting me...

Thank you, OP. Sorry not to have responded before. The kit I have is No'd: STC53049. It is for the pre-04 type (albeit a TD whereas mine isn't) and it seems it can be fitted to a nudge bar type or a non-nudge bar type (which mine is) because the kit includes moulded parts that fit onto the...

Yes, I know ... it already has and I probably will because it will again.

Excellent. Humour and taking the pi** .......seems like a friendly place then! I appreciate the the freebie isn't a big fk off real Land Rover but cars are cars and a place to find out how to fix things is what these place are all about innit? Thanks for the greetings guys - looking forward to it :)

Hi. I'm a newbie to the Forum and a newbie to the world of Land Rovers. Just bought a 2002 Feelander 1.8 SE. In my enthusiasm I purchase (from fleabay) a complete spot and fog kit for fitting to the bumper of a LDH TD. It was cheap and unused and desite the need to extend the wiring to fit an...

Hello and good evening... Just purchased a 2002 Freelander SE and I love it. Never thought that I'd buy a 4x4 but there it was and I had to have it. Used to own an MGF so having sworn that I'd never again live with a K series engine I am a little surprised with myself for having bought the...
