Thread: Cruise control & door locking issues, more so the lack of

Hi There,
Got another P38 a few months ago, 1996 4.6 HSE has varying small PITA issues, two of which are

1. The Cruise control for the main doesn't work, actually since ownership it has worked once, I had tried to engage cruise on a few occasions without success, randomly I was driving down the freeway, pressed both buttons and the cruise came into operation held possibly for about ten minutes and then just switched off, hasn't worked since. I've checked the flexihoses and haven't found anything obvious. I have searched this forum and Range Rover.net there is a lot of information spread all over the place about testing the system, is there one document anywhere that covers all the testing?

2. Door locks, when the remote is pressed the two back doors lock / unlock, indicators flash etc, both front doors remain unlocked. With the key used in the drivers door, the drivers door locks / unlocks and both the back doors lock / unlock. The front passengers door is purely manual operation no matter which way I do things. The rear hatch locks and unlocks with the key and the remote.
So what is my best way forward, I would prefer not to have to replace the remote "system" if I can help it. Please tell me it is just a fuse..........

Thanks in advance for any assistance rendered.

The latch and actuator are one unit. There's a link going to the key lock (drivers door), one to the outside handle & a 3rd going to the inner handle.
