Thread: TD5 issues, LR first timer.. Help!!!

Welcome to the forum,there is heaps of good info here,as you are finding out

I would suggest you find a good LR specialist(not a dealer),someone will know one in your area,as they are usually the best with this type of problem as they see these issues all day.

The auto elecy you have contacted may not know D2's very well

Can't help with this as i live on the other side of the country

Thanks scarry, I am wondering if there is something I can do with the BCU?? I will post a thread asking if anyone knows of a good place to go to in Perth....

hi there everyone in WA! I have recently bought a 2000 LR D2 TD5 and thought I'd introduce myself. I have a few issues with the car already!!! Namely back LHS door not opening, and after much reading on this site I think we need to get a new actuator and self install. Which is ok.

However in the past few days the car will not UNLOCK using key fob - it locks fine using the fob - but won't unlock. Thus am using the key to open drivers door which sets off the alarm much to the joy of the neighbours.

Have called local auto electrician who suggested I drop off car asap and they will redo the whole central locking system?? Not sure I really want to do that as it will probably cost a fortune (I just got new brakes and 2 new tyres + purchase price and insurance etc etc) and I really DON'T want to take it to a LR dealer which will probably cost more.

After doing heaps of reading on this site - I kind of think it is a prob with the BCU??... I have downloaded the workshop manual....

Does anyone have any ideas of what I should practically do now???

And does anyone know of a good LR tech in Perth who does electrics??

Thanks heaps in advance,

Steph

Steph if you lock the doors whilst inside with the door switch on the facia will that unlock the doors also? That at least would tell you that the wiring & mechanisms work...
