D11V MC · Jul 10, 2009

Hi all,
My freelander 1999, petrol 5 door.
Today is not starying, i ahve attempted to jump start it as had sat for around a week or so, no joy.
My radio will no longer come on my odometer is not lighting up but all the dash lights come on, ie battery, handbrake etc.
I turn the key but dont even get a click

My car was recently in for its MOT and unsyre if garage unplugged battery as onlydrove it a few miles home and parked it in drive.

Would battery becoming disconnected cause a proble say with the immobiliser ??

Please advise
Thanks

You have bought a Land-Rover which is unnecessarily complicated, with insufficient off road ability and way too much comfort. Solution - sell it and buy a series Land-Rover.

Or a push bike

Or a classis Rangie. Comfort and good off-road capability, with no P38 hassles

No - still too complicated and too much comfort. The whole fun of off roading is bouncing around all over the place and this effect is heightened with leaf springs!

A bicycle would be a good idea too, if your only vehicle is a series Land-Rover: In case you need to get somewhere quickily.

).

Are the connections with the battery good either way? Clean them up with emery cloth and give Batt a good charge too. But there is more info on the Freelander websites too

Gaylanders are supposed to breakdown aren't they?? It's the one thing they do really well.

Post problems with your freelander in the freelander section to minimise the stupid replies.
If the garage disconnected your battery you would not have been able to start it in order to drive it home.

I would check the condition of your battery, it may be flat and need charging or replacing.

Do a search on jump starting we've had this before.

General Land Rover Chat Doesn't fit in anywhere else? Not sure where to post? Stick it in here and someone will move it if needed!

The reason I posted my question here was because of what it says in the title of this thread.(above)

I thought I could get some help from other Freelander owners or previous freelander owners.
Not abuse from wannabe army GI Joes or sheep shagging farmers

Anyway, I got the problem solved by getting a new starter motor fitted this morning, Freelander is back on the road, running well and looking good.

Thanks to anyone who tried to help, and get it right up you to the rest with all your useless and **** poor comments
