      Hello, could you please tell me the part number of the lock actuator you used? I have an evoque that does not unlock the doors and I must enter with my emergency key. Greetings!

    Just completed this job and I doubt if I would have even tried it without this video and watching a few others as well on TH-cam. Thank you so much for your expert explanations. It seems that there are some very similar actuator part numbers and even a site where I typed in the car reg sold me the wrong part. I only found out when I came to change it. I then only got the right part by quoting the part number off the sticker on the old one, and even then, some sites cross referenced it to the same wrong part as I was shopping around. Also, I came across a work around on another posters video for the nightmare handle cable removal - i.e. remove the door handle and then following this video, you can 'relatively' easily remove the entire actuator mechanism. Thanks again.

    Thank you - saved us from a big problem. Just a side note, on European models, the problem appears to be on the same door (passenger door which is the driver's door on British models).

    • @lifes.projects
      @lifes.projects  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes good point. Thats because it just unlocks the drivers door rather than all the doors if only the driver is using the vehicle.

    Totally brilliant vid, thank you! Used it today to sort this exact problem on our 2012 Evoque 5dr. Only one small difference was there was a vertical brace bar inside the door that I had to undo in order to get the old one out and the new one in, probably just a difference in the door structure between the 3dr and 5dr. 2 bolts to loosen and refit after actuator was is. Otherwise all sorted! :-)

  • @thepuddlejumper500
    @thepuddlejumper500 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have just finished fixing mine and thought I would add some more tips. On my Evoque year 2017 there are 3 cables coming into the door mechanism. There are 2 coming from the external door handle, one is as described in this video the other external handle cable is a lot shorter. Therefore you can’t pull the mechanism out to remove the clips. The best way is to remove a plastic cover,which I presume protects the lock from moisture, the screw is on the surface facing you there is also bit of tape holding it as well this also has to be removed. Once the cover is removed you can see 2 yellow clips, these have tangs to keep them in place. I used a thin screwdriver to gently manoeuvre the clips off. These two are a right pain to fix into the new lock, but with patience it can be done. The other difference I found was the electrical connectors for the sensors, they were small black connectors which I couldn’t get apart so I removed the lower one from the door card to allow me to rest the card against the car. Hope this helps.

      I believe mine is keyless and maybe that’s why I had the additional cable, take your time as some of the clips are tricky but the job is relatively easy. Hope this helps.

I also have dead driver side memory seat buttons, window switches, lock unlock, and mirrors dont fold. But sometimes when sitting in the csr i open the door and close it again everything is fine.. do you think can be the lock actuator it wires?

  • @wayne7939
    @wayne7939 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video , but you must have edited out hours , the section removing the handle cable from the lock and reattaching again after. Make life easy and remove the black plug and use a long torx loosen the only screw down there and the outside handle comes off, unclip the cable then remove actuater pack from the car easily swap cables outside the car and refit in reverse. Also if you take off the cover, unless something has actually snapped(rare) it is usually one of the motors failed , they only plug in to the pcb inside and you can get replacements. Hope this helps.

    I have the same problem with my 2013 RR Evoque's passenger door, it's annoying. Everytime I have to ensure that my car is really locked by locking manually before I leave... otherwise my car will remain unlocked overnight or the whole day. This cars are very expensive and it's disappointing to have common door flaws such as this one on all RR models.

    Just had same problem with my RR evoque (2013 model) drivers door lock! My mechanic got a new lock, €340 later everything back to normal, however I used to have it on a setting that when I unlocked car only the drivers door would unlock, on second press all doors would unlock, however now one press all doors unlock, how do I change it that only drivers door unlocks first?? I’ve tried holding lock and unlock button for 5 seconds, lights flash but setting doesn’t change! 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Just changed the front driver door actuator on my evoque 2017 5 door diesel with no keyless entry. Your video was great and everything went exactly as you say. However, when I lock with fob, mirrors retract and sounds like all doors locked but drivers door is still open and if I open then alarms goes off. If I sit in car it the small lock/open latch above the door handle doesn't move when the doors are opened/locked with fob. Always stays in lock position. As far as I can see, I followed your video exactly so any ideas would be much appreciated? Thanks.

Good tip about opening the windows using the key bythway, I've been climbing over my passenger side to open my door for last 6 months lol. I knew u could use the key to shut the windows but didn't realise u could open them like this too!! (Ya live an learn 🤦). Looking to attempt repair myself so this vid helps alot thanks.. any tips for a novice? I don't think the Freelander has as much space once you take door card off, the hole looks half the size as the Evoque so I'm worried about having enough room too to reattach wires and clips?! I can't really afford to pay garage prices at the minute so have been doing minor repairs myself. It seems another common fault on the freelanders are leaking high break lights which I managed to do myself last week 👊 so my confidence is growing ever so slightly ! And hopefully my bank balance will follow (that's if I don't fudge it up trying that is)

      Glad you enjoyed it. Oh yes deffo live and learn 🤣. There not a bad job on the freelanders as the doors are wider (thicker) only advice i can say if youve never done one take pictures so you can remember the route of the wires ect and just take your time. Sometimes its easier to take the outside handle off to disconnect the cable ather than trying to remove it from the lock.
      Other than that just put the window up before you remove the door card so you can get your hand in.
      Good luck!

      @@lifes.projects so I've watched a few more videos from other TH-cam channels changing the actuator in the Freelander 2 and they making it look rather difficult, guys in actual garages having difficulty getting to it, some taking the window completely out, some snapping clips off wires and having to bodge it, one guy even questions what the wires do!!🤦 (my confidence depleting). Another guy reckons just squirt some wd40 in where the inside door handle lock paddle is? Is this worth trying or do u reckon it's pointless? Tbh I thought I had an electrical fault with the wing mirrors not folding in before and wd40 did rectify this so there may just be a chance? 🤷 Failing that how much do u reckon a garage would charge? Just wanna gage roughly what I'm gambling on here 🤦🤣

      @@normanfastlane8942 WD40 usually is pointless but worth trying for nothing. The problem with the clips is when its cold they are brittle and snap easy. Everyone has different way of doing things. Your wing mirrors is usually a sign of the latch failing like in my video. This latch was intermittent for a few month before it started getting worse. Honestly couldnt tell you but they usually charge 2 hours labour

    Slightly different problem on a Discovery Sport, but rear driver's side door won't open. It won't open from inside or outside. I had the same with the front drivers door last year. It cost almost £500 to get that fixed at a land rover dealer. They say it required a new latch. Anyone have any ideas? Can I sort it myself? How do I get the door open? Help!!

    • @lifes.projects
      @lifes.projects  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Vw/Audis suffer with this. The latch packs in completely but are usually deadlocked so you can't open from the inside either. Only thing you could do was remove the door card to gain access and try and get the latch to unlock. If not the only thing left to do was destroy the latch from the inside and manually open the door.

      The Pure techs can be a funny one as they are usually a basic spec with individual upgrades applied by the customer when it was ordered new so it really depends on that. The Prestige and Dynamics usually come with folding mirrors but not always keyless entry etc.
