LAND ROVER FREELANDER 1 L314 1996-2006 VOLUMETRIC ALARM SENSOR YWC106313
LAND ROVER FREELANDER 1 L314 1996-2006 VOLUMETRIC ALARM SENSOR YWC106313
INTERIOR VOLUMETRIC ALARM SENSOR
This is a Volumetric Interior Alarm Sensor — Not the Central Locking ECU
The identification label on the actual part being sold shows YWC106313. Land Rover catalogues this number as a volumetric sensor for the vehicle's anti-theft alarm system.
This component monitors movement within the passenger compartment while the alarm system is armed. It is not the main central locking control module and should not be ordered solely to cure a door-locking or remote-key fault.
We have deliberately clarified this because correct part identification is one of the best ways to prevent wrong orders and unnecessary returns.

🚗 Confirmed Freelander 1 L314 Fitment
Fitment has been checked using the photographed identification number YWC106313 and the Land Rover parts catalogue.
Critical VIN breakpoint: vehicles up to VIN 3A258324 originally use YWC106310. Land Rover lists YWC106313 as the superseding replacement. Vehicles from VIN 3A258325 are catalogued directly with YWC106313.
| Vehicle | Years / VIN | Body | Fitment Status | Important Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Land Rover Freelander 1 / L314 | MY2003 onward FROM VIN 3A258325 through end of L314 production |
Applicable alarm-equipped L314 body configurations | ✔ DIRECT YWC106313 APPLICATION | YWC106313 is catalogued directly from this VIN breakpoint. Verify the full 17-character VIN and connector before ordering. |
| Land Rover Freelander 1 / L314 | 1996–MY2003 TO VIN 3A258324 |
Applicable alarm-equipped L314 body configurations | ⚠ SUPERSESSION APPLICATION | Original catalogue number is YWC106310. Land Rover lists YWC106313 as its superseding replacement. VIN and old-part identification should be checked before purchase. |
| Land Rover Freelander 1 / L314 | 1996–2006 generation | 3-door / 5-door depending on equipment | ⚠ VERIFY EQUIPMENT | Vehicle must have the applicable anti-theft alarm / volumetric interior monitoring equipment. Associated mounting arrangements can vary, so do not order by year alone. |

❌ Do Not Order This Part For the Following
| Vehicle / Situation | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Land Rover Freelander 2 / L359 | DOES NOT FIT | Freelander 2 is a different vehicle generation and platform. |
| Freelander 1 without the applicable volumetric alarm equipment | DO NOT ASSUME FITMENT | Presence of a Freelander 1 badge alone does not confirm the required alarm equipment. |
| Vehicles with a different original part number | CHECK FIRST | Do not assume interchange unless the different number is a verified manufacturer supersession. |
| Discovery / Defender / Range Rover / Freelander 2 / other models | NOT CONFIRMED | No cross-vehicle fitment is claimed in this listing unless independently verified by the correct part number and VIN. |
| Central locking failure only | WRONG COMPONENT TYPE | YWC106313 is the volumetric interior alarm sensor, not the main central locking control ECU. |
If unsure, please message us through eBay BEFORE ordering with your complete 17-character VIN and a clear photograph of the label on your existing part.

📍 Where Is YWC106313 Fitted?
Passenger compartment interior
Centrally positioned behind / within the headlining area
The volumetric sensor is part of the Freelander's interior alarm protection system. It sits in the roof/headlining area of the passenger compartment rather than in the dashboard or door-lock mechanism.
Its job is to detect movement within the cabin when the anti-theft alarm is armed and provide that information to the vehicle's alarm/control system.
What Does the Volumetric Alarm Sensor Do?
The sensor forms part of the vehicle's interior intrusion protection. When the alarm is armed, the system uses interior movement detection to identify possible movement inside the cabin.
Possible symptoms of a faulty or unsuitable sensor include:
Important: central locking problems, an inoperative remote key, door-latch faults or immobiliser faults can have completely different causes. Proper diagnosis is recommended before replacing parts.
Why Choose an Original Land Rover Used Component?
An original manufacturer-supplied component was designed around the vehicle's original connector, electronics, mounting arrangement and alarm control strategy. This is particularly important with electronic security components where sensitivity and system integration matter.
Cheap unverified copies may look similar externally while differing in electronics, calibration, connector quality or manufacturing tolerances. We therefore recommend buying by verified part number and vehicle compatibility rather than appearance alone.
🔧 Fitting Overview
The following is a general fitting overview for an experienced technician. Exact trim removal can vary with body/roof specification. Always use the correct workshop information for the individual vehicle.
Recommended tools
Non-marring trim tools Basic hand-tool set Suitable driver bits Torch / inspection light Protective gloves Diagnostic equipment optional
Confirm YWC106313, or the verified YWC106310 supersession application, using the vehicle VIN and existing component.
Remove the key and follow the appropriate electrical isolation procedure in the workshop information for the vehicle if electrical isolation is required.
Use non-marring tools and avoid bending, creasing or forcing the headlining.
Carefully release only the trim necessary to gain access to the volumetric sensor and its mounting arrangement.
Inspect the connector and surrounding wiring for corrosion, moisture, damage or poor terminal contact before condemning the sensor.
Check part number, electrical connection, housing and mounting points before installation.
Secure the replacement in the original orientation and reconnect the electrical connector without forcing it.
Refit the trim correctly and test alarm/interior movement operation. If a fault remains, continue diagnosis rather than repeatedly replacing parts.
This is a planning estimate rather than an official manufacturer labour time. Additional diagnostic work, seized fasteners, damaged trim, wiring repairs or previous modifications can increase the time required.
💷 Estimated Garage Labour Cost
eBay descriptions do not permit an active JavaScript calculator, so this static table provides the same calculation using the estimated 0.5–1.0 hour installation allowance.
| Garage Labour Rate | 0.5 Hour | 0.75 Hour | 1.0 Hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| £60 per hour | £30 | £45 | £60 |
| £80 per hour | £40 | £60 | £80 |
| £100 per hour | £50 | £75 | £100 |
| £120 per hour | £60 | £90 | £120 |
| £150 per hour | £75 | £112.50 | £150 |
Labour figures are estimates only and exclude diagnostics, additional repairs, parts, consumables and any taxes charged by the chosen garage.

🌍 International Delivery
International delivery is available for eligible destinations through eBay's international shipping programmes, including the Global Shipping Programme where applicable.
eBay currently makes the Global Shipping Programme available across more than 100 markets. Exact destination eligibility, postage cost, customs charges and import fees are determined by eBay and displayed to the buyer at checkout.
We do not publish a fixed country list here because programme eligibility can change and can also depend on the item and destination. The delivery options shown by eBay at checkout are the controlling information.
📦 Please Check Your Delivery Address
Customers must ensure that the delivery address selected during eBay checkout is complete and correct before payment.
For transaction security and seller protection we cannot simply redirect a dispatched order to a different address supplied afterwards. If an address is incorrect, contact us through eBay as quickly as possible so the available options can be checked before dispatch.
VAT Global Accounting / Margin Scheme
Eligible second-hand stock is handled under the applicable VAT margin/global accounting arrangements.
Where the scheme applies, VAT is not shown separately on the selling price or invoice and is therefore not separately reclaimable by the purchaser.
✅ Our Fitment-Verification Process
Our aim is to help customers identify the correct part before ordering. Vehicle year alone is often not sufficient, especially when manufacturers introduce VIN breakpoints and superseded part numbers during production.
Returns remain subject to the return terms displayed by eBay and your applicable statutory rights. Correct pre-purchase verification helps everyone avoid unnecessary postage, dismantling and vehicle downtime.
📦 Parts Prepared for Safe Dispatch
We operate a high-volume used-parts inventory and understand how important secure packing is when automotive parts are moving through courier networks.
