Hi
Another issue with this Range Rover, was the driver side rear door, randomly not locking or unlocking...
Well, randomly, or very rarely!...
Upon investigation, found the issue, and actually found why it failed...
Anyway, follow me on this video to find out what was the problem and how to resolve it.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions or comments put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching!
Great fix, I tried swapping motor brush on a wiper but ended up damaging it. Thanks for the info it was worth every watch of it.
😊
👍👍👍
Perfect video!! Thanks for the video. It is very helpful. In Turkey, the locking system is 75$ for the lowest quality brand. The original one is about 200-300$. But the motor is 5$ only.
😊
👍👍👍
Thanks. What i did was to replace the original with another part just to keep the luck working then ordered mabuchi motors. Never thought opening to change the brushes.
😊
👍👍👍
Nice one, I am an avid brush repairer on motors, far too much stuff thrown away
😔
Indeed...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
The motor has a thermistor built-in (rectangle, opposite side to the coil in the new bottom part that you replaced) used as a protection for the lock. Happened to me that this part failed partially (limiting the current to the motor windings when ambient temperature rise), and the car would not lock-unlock when the car was in the sun, in the cold morning was working fine. Nice videos Louis.

👍👍👍
Good work! Interesting that the same door (right rear) seems to be the one that usually fails, regardless of left or right hand drive model.
☺️
👍👍👍
It’s so satisfying watching you fix this stuff 😎🔧👍🏻
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Component level repair again by the magician great job keep the content coming 😁
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
We have curiosity also too
When you fix the armature inside of the brush holder do not see the range of the capture 😔
Great video. I really mechanics like you. If the owner would have gone to the Range Rover dealership they probably would have charged $1000 (or more!) for this simple repair. If I would needed electric motor parts i would have disassembled one of my Tamiya tank kits and robbed the Mabuchi motor out of it - which was probably the brand of electric motor you repaired. Cheers, mate.

👍👍👍
Great fix Luis as again :) You have just confirmed my obsession with saving old parts for further use. Is it possible that some sort of thermal protection kicks in after a certain number of lock/unlock attempts?
Most likely...
Seen in before, the thermal protection on some cars.
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Great video as always, and good cheap fix.
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Nice fix Luis . I see in the comments that people do approve of your way of fixing these particular things . i am not against it and I still do the occasional alternator brushes or diodes but that´s where it ends . The more parts I buy over the years the cheaper they get . You know what I mean . As much as I would like to fix some things sometimes it is just not logical . I do however disassemble a lot of things but that is just out of pure interest .
I guess if you own a business, your approach to repairs needs to be slightly different...
As you probably know, this channel is mostly intended to DIY repairs etc... where this kind of repair makes much more sense, monetarily and as a learning process...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Nice video!! Also get a new key for him 😃
🤣
👍👍👍
You can get a replacement key case for those remotes on Ebay for a couple of ££’s
👍👍👍
@@paulsz6194 you just ruined the joke...
Maybe it is just a rare example which came with the Black Tape key design. A future classic 😀
I see you use the same philosophy as me on throwing things away. If you haven't used it for five years, put it to one side.
😊
👍👍👍
Very nice 👍 good job 👏
🙏🙏
Thanks!
👍👍👍
These are toy car motors made by Mabuchi. Some enterprising sellers on Amazon are offering 4 motors for $20 but to me the shaft looks too short and you would need to press off/on the gear. Still could be a cheap way to get new brushes, much cheaper than a new lock mech from Rover or BMW...
👍👍👍
Where can I purchase 4 motors on amazon
Is just me or does that motor look like the one that powers a scaletrix car? 😆
Exactly
They are indeed...
😊
Pity you will find these cheap tin can motors in your steering lock !
Indeed...
👍👍👍
thank you again
👍👍👍
Is there anything you can’t fix 👍
Plenty...😋
👍👍👍
This is what annoys me with expensive cars you pay an absolute fortune for a car am I build the vehicle out of junk that fails
