Freelander 2004 starts then dies

Paulandrew · Sunday at 13:34

Hi, so my 2004 petrol freelancer wouldn't start. I found a cable had come loose from the solenoid and reconnected it. It now starts and then dies. Yesterday if I unconnected/ reconnected the battery it would start and run fine today that fix doesn't seem to work .
I thought immobiliser ? Change the battery on the fob and still just starts then dies .
Any ideas folks? Best Saul

Sounds like another loose connection. Check the engine bay fuse box where battery lead enters and the large fuse fixing screws.

Hi thanks for the reply . yes I've checked them all. Could it have something to do with the wire that came off the solenoid? Could I have disturbed something else whilst reconnected it? It seems strange this started at the same time ?
