Wow, thanks!

Just saved me over $500 dollars. Thats what my local independent LR specialist quoted me. I didnt need to take the door handle off to take the cables off (Front Driver side). If you pop the tear shaped gland out of the door that the wiring goes through, you have enough room to unclip and take the door cable off. Also, I lowered the window about 80mm, then taped it in place. That made it alot easier to remove the 2 white clips that go through the glass. Thanks for the effort you put into these videos. Bloody brilliant. If you have a patreon be happy to contribute.

Thank you so much. This video overview made the swap out a lot easier. I now have a working door lock again on my Freelander 2, thank you.

Best help video i have ever seen, especially good that you show closeups of all those fiddly little clips and how to open them without breaking them , thanks for posting it.

Great stuff guys couldn't have replaced the lock without your help very fiddly. Thanks and well done.

Superb video guys. The handle removal was a mystery up till now. I assume it's pretty much the same for drivers door, except from an extra glass connector clip thingy? A video for the drivers door would be brilliant. I reckon cos they're used more often they'll break sooner. Love all your videos, amazingly detailed and informative. Thanks very much.

Just completed it using your vid, worked a charm and thank you for turning an hours job into 20 mins.

Nice work!

Thank you so much for these videos, they're a huge contribution to the Land Rover community. As someone who's just paid out £800 to get that exact door lock replaced (£500+VAT in labour) and to have the other side fail 6 weeks later it's a massive saving for me. I'm going to get the parts and give it a go. Thanks again.

Thanks fellas! This is my second time I’ve had to do this on my Freelander. The first time I did it without taking the handle off and it was WAY more difficult. Took me 8 hours to do both rear doors. This time it took me 3 hours for both. Cheers!

Thanks Guys .. Just done mine using your tutorial… very straight forward … hardest bit was getting those two clips released off the door handle cover .. 👍👍

Thank you so much for this - and for it being a continuous edit - it gave me the confidence to change it this morning. Just a bit longer than your video took but all in all just 45 mins and saved me £200 ish. I did as you suggested and bought the two cables and removed the whole door handle too. Thank you so much

Thanks, nice clear video. Thanks to this I was able to change my faulty lock in an hour and a half. All working perfectly now 🙂

What a godsend this video was, thank you guys!! Managed it myself this afternoon but would have abandoned it without this video.

Brilliant video. My car alarm was going off randomly and sometimes not recognising the door was shut. Changing the latch should sort it. I’m not sure I would’ve got there without this video. The best of its kind I’ve come across.

Absolutely superb video showing exactly how to achieve a fairly complex repair. The descriptions and instructions were spot on enabled me to complete the work in just short of 90mins. Thanks guys.

Great video. Just bought my first land rover a 2008 LR2 with only 88,000 miles on it ( I’m in the US). I ran across your videos and saw the one about the door can be open even when locked, so I tried my car and found the right rear door can be opened. Then I found this video on how to replace the actuator. In the first video you say the second actuator video will have a link above, or in the comments below and it’s not there. Thanks you for the detailed repair procedure. I used to work for Volvo cars of North America and when I had to write a service bulletin I would always make it so my mother could do the job.

Thanks for this video. I managed to repair the door. I even took the recommended tea breaks.

I have a 2013,something metal is loose inside when closing the door it’s worse when the window is fully down,I now know how to unclip the window regulator to get better access.Thanks a lot .

Absolutely brilliant video. It saved me ages on the rear door. I then had to do the front door as well. What a different story. Real challenge getting the second window clip off ( I made up a long wooden wedge to open it up) and the small door handle cover. I could not get inside to release the clips on that small cover as you showed on the rear and ended up snapping the clips. Small price to pay I suppose for getting both door locks done. Many thanks for a great video

Muchas gracias por el tutorial, llevaba mas de 2 meses sin funcionar la cerradura y este fin de semana siguiendo tus explicaciones he cambaido la cerradura trasera izquierda que compré por internet y a vuelto a funcionar perfectamente. Si vienes de vacaciones a España tienes unas cervezas pagadas en Elche ( Alicante ) y estaria encantado de saludarte. Thank you very much for the tutorial, the lock had not worked for more than 2 months and this weekend, following your explanations, I changed the left rear lock that I bought online and it has worked perfectly again. If you come on vacation to Spain you have some paid beers in Elche (Alicante) and I would be delighted to greet you.

Well done, saved me a fortune. Just to add that you can save more money by opening the actuator and replacing the motors, there is a video on you tube on how to do that, it's about an extra 15 minutes time and worth doing, in the country I live in we don't have ebay, I got the motors on wish (came from the uk), I also had to reset the ecu by disconnecting the battery for 30 min as it gave me an amber triangle notification about Rear door, that was on a 2014 Si4, thanks again

A note for the passenger side, insert key to remove the door handle cap. Remove the key barrel by taking out a torques screw on the side of the door and pull out the barrel before removing the door handle. To refit the barrel,screw the torque screw halfway into the mechanism then inset the barrel and tighten.

Hi, great video, well done guys, this helped me no end. Only took me 2hrs for the rear door. My front offside had gone too so thought I’d attempt this myself as you hadn’t done a video for the front doors. Just to let you know, it’s pretty much the same as the rear except there are two looking slides for the window instead of one, and to take the small section of the door handle off you have to prize it away from the outside and try and push a tiny screw driver up inside to release the plastic clips. (It can’t be done from inside the vehicle) It’s very difficult and I ended up breaking one side of the clip but it still went back in and holds ok. Thanks again guys, Steve.

There is a small hole in the inner door directly opposite those awkward but fragile clips. You need a long, thin flat bladed screwdriver, some light inside the door and view what you are doing through the latch opening. Quite easy in the end, and all clips intact.

Just did on my front right, but managed to remove the small cable from the mechanism without removing the handle

I’d like to see you do an RRS front 😂.

That is some job trying to remember how to get it all back together in the correct order. I think best to sell the car before the door lock dies! Labour costs at JLR...£250 maybe? Brave work men!! 😱😱😀😀😀😀😀

Do you need to do this whole replacement if the central locking still works but the internal lock mechanism is broken?

Think I’ll take mine to the garage if it ever needs a repair 👨‍🔧

Thank you for your explanation, it was all right until the part 21’ 37” : I was not able to see the screw in my car as you have showed on the video. Can you help me to solve this problem?

My rear door lock seems to be stuck when I try to lock the car. So the plastic thingy that indicates that the door is locked and that can be pulled out or pushed in to manually to lock the door is malfunctioning. Unlocking is no problem at all , everything works fine , but when I press the locking bottom on the key it gets stuck half way and the door stays unlocked. ( and the alarm goes off when I open the door) Do you guys or anyone here knows how to fix that ? Do I have to switch the whole door locking unit as you did in the video or is there an easier way to fix it ? It seems to be more of an mechanical and not an electrical problem , right ? Thanks a ton in advance

Common problem with the LR2. I need to fix mine as well. Also need to do the rear door hatch. It unlocks with the key FOB and the 2 button in the cabin push button but can't open with pressing the latch in the back.

I don’t know if I’m being stupid, but you sell the rear left and right door motors do you use the same kit for the front left and front right door ??

Ive done both front doors, a job i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy... Mr Tickle arms and hands are required, especially on the drivers door that has the additional cable for the key lock' a right pain. But only takes a couple of hours and the parts are cheap.
