Left front door lock playing up...

Hi

The L/F door does not unlock when triggering the fob/remote.
You physically need to pull the lever (only1 or 2 millimeters) to get the door to unlock.
Also, the door does not lock automatically on pull-off like the others.

Please point me in the right direction to get this fixed?

Edit to add: When parked in the sun (38+degrees in the shade) it unlocks perfectly.... Confused

Regards 2012 SD4 S

I had the same - needed a new latch.

There is a DIY on here.

Latch costs around £100 in the UK.

DIY takes about 2 hours to change. FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green

The link includes how to split the latch and fix the motor - I just changed the latch for a new one. FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green

My repair attempt did not work.....but I am now an expert at taking the door internals apart and will have to do that again when I get a replacement locking unit.

I had same issue on drivers door. Not sure if heat makes it work, we don’t get any of that here!

In the end replaced latch. Bought for about £44. Took about an hour to change and was, retrospectively, a simple job.

Now works perfectly. '09 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto

There appears to be 4 options.

Buy new from LR about £120.
Buy used about £50. What's the point could fail next week?
Strip the motor and fit replacement brushes. Tried that didn't work.
Buy Chinese one for £30 off ebay or parts shop selling for £45 - £50 which I assume are the Chinese ones.

Already done drivers door with Genuine LR one. Does anyone have any feed back on Chinese ones? Are they as reliable as Chech Genuine ones? Silver 2009 HSE

You left out the first and fith option and just reminded me to do it.

At the end of Winter oil all the door locks and spray easing oil / lubricant into door cavity via the lock. Makes me feel better even if it does sod all to the long term prognosis you and many have. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

WD40 dries off after a while so good for easing but the mountain bike stuff with added bits leaves lube behind and don't forget the tail gate and bonnet (thats hood if you are a Double Blank). FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Took no real time and another small job done, use the red tube that the sprays come with to get into the lock and beyond . Thumbs Up  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
