Hello,

I have an '02 Freelander, and I'm having trouble with the rear door.

When I pull the latch, the window moves out of the way, and the door unlatches. However, the door is incredibly stiff to move. It is so difficult my wife cannot open it.

Any ideas?

never seen it on a freelander, but as long as it apears to be free, that is nothing hitting it, bumper or braken hinge, id get some penetrating lube and spray the hinges and the check strap on the bottem of the door, then move it through its paces a few times, see how it works

 

The general trend towards higher performance in factory-stock cars reflected the importance of the youth market. A key appeal of muscle cars was that they offered the burgeoning American car culture relatively affordable and powerful street performance in models that could also be used for drag racing. But as size, optional equipment and luxury appointments increased, engines had to be more powerful to maintain performance levels, and the cars became more expensive.
