Hi all, I have a problem with the rear door on my 300 discovery.

I recently replaced the spring in the door lock which I understand is prone to breaking. The door now locks and unlocks as it should...most of the time!

However, sometimes when I lock the door with the fob the boot will lock and then unlock straight away. If I use the key in the lock to lock the boot down then the next time I use the fob it seems to work. However, it invariably goes back to doing it again which is rather frustrating!

I am fairly sure that I put the locking mechanism and rods back together properly.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Adjust the locking actuator as it not allowing the full movment of the locking rod. Just undo the screws and move slightly 1 or 2mm not a lot required and re-try with the door card off.
