Thread: D1 Front Locking problem query.

Yes this sounds like a lazzy door spring, it seams to be a common problem that landrover pays off as a replacement for the total mechanism. I found a site in England that will supply replacement springs for a reasonable price.

If you look on ebay you should hook up with them, if you don't send me a post and I'll hut down the supplier.

Cheers Gazz

Thanks both. I have replaced this spring in this door apx 1 year ago, the rear door 3 years ago( much easier) but I don't recall this particular action.
Ho hum.

My passenger side was playing up a while ago . I took the card off and sprayed some lube on all the moving parts . Haven't had a problem since . But i could see mine was trying to unlock before i done this .

Hopefully, that's all it will be now.

Hope so . Nothing worse than something you use all the time starts playing up .

Eureka! All fixed. Problem was, the short hooked rod that hooks to the solenoid had slipped off the solenoid.

Reset the hook end a bit & a touch of white grease & all seems ok. I don't know why it came out, as everything seemed tight.

Clever olde me didn't even break one plastic door card pin as I had the foresight to give each a smear of grease last time it was off. It paid off it seems.
