TD5 - About to purchase, but rear door won't open!!

(1/4) > >>

Hi,

Went to look at a V Reg TD5 earlier, really like it, got a test drive for Sat (damned 10 hour shifts!!) The only real problem I could find is the rear door handle is mullered!!

Even when I managed to reach through to the boot area, I couldn't open it from the inside.  Think the mechanism is shot.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement mechanism at a "good" price, or if there is a "quick" fix for this?

Cheers

K9Jim:
take the oval landrover badge off the handle housing and soak the inside in wd40, that works on my 300tdi don't know if its the same td5.
thats the quick fix i know  :wink:  - hope it works and not something more sinister

sulley:
Had a quick look at it whilst at the dealers, think it's gonna be a bit more sinister :(  The handle seemed to be stuck in the "open" position (when you pull the handle back towards yourself in order to pull the door open!!

Daz800:
My td5 (51 plate) had the same problem and when i took it back to the stealers they said "they all do it sir"
They showed me what to do so i am only going to tell you once...

Pop off the the landrover badge (small screwdriver)and spray with WD40.

My rear door would not open from the inside or out. But it does now :D

sulley:
I'll be trying that then!!
