Its a common problem on the 2006 model cars, a dealer will be about £130-£150 to fix, but your passanger door won't be too far behind going the same way which is more difficult to repair and more costly unless you have a good warranty You can lock the drivers door by way of pulling the door handle out on the outside of the car before you shut the door, at the same time as pushing the lock lever on the inside of the car then let go of the door handle and shut your door then press your remote as usual to lock the rest of the car then check to see if your drivers door has locked, it might take a few goes to master the technique

why would the passenger side be harder and more expensive to fix  07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

^^^Because thats the one with the emergency key lock and there is more involved.

thanks for tip ady,works well.! more info on this common problen them.?

Got the same problem guys. is this something my local man can fix or is it a LR job? What part is it that goes wrong??? Thanks

Disco 3 forum has the walkthrough guide for this problem.

Mick, if your car has got a warranty in place then it should be covered If not, then its a job any garage will do for you but better a garage who has done them before then they arn't running away with the hourly labour charge I think a dealer will charge around £120-130ish fitted.

Quote from stealers £160 inc. £49 for the part and 1 hour labour. can only assume it's a 2 man job at some point otherwise that would be £110 an hour labour

Reckon my local guy would be delving into the unknown so maybe false economy going there!!

Oh!! And passenger sides gone now

What part is it as my car has started playing up
