Hi,
Just wondered if anyone can advise me whats going on with my Freelander 2, my local garage are scratching their heads after 2 visits there and now its got worse. All started about 3 weeks ago when an engine management light appeared on the dash and no impact on performance. Plugged in a cheap odb reader and it showed code p245a which i thought 'egr valve/cooler', took a while to get a booking from my garage and they had a look and said 'not sure, too many codes to decipher cause, so we have removed them all, take it for a drive and bring it back if eml comes back on', ok a day later it reappeared so took it back again, they said 'could be dpf or egr or glow plugs or glow plug module according to their code reader'. On investigation they found one glow plug melted at the end, fine they changed it and gave me car back and a couple of days later eml on again still with same p245a code. I will now get to today, went outside to get something out of the car and i thought i will read codes again and check for any pending or other ones after a short drive but car wouldn't start. Battery output 7.8 volts and code p245a still there and constant electrical whining type noise like a circuit is constantly powered and key stuck in ignition. Currently charging the battery to see if that will release key and stop noise. Anyone got any ideas whats going on, could it be faulty glow plug module causing glow plug melt, p245 error and now constant energised system circuit? Will it need a Land Rover specialist? Or is there something i can suggest they do when they get the car tomorrow?
