When standing still with the engine on when you change terrain response button should something happen ?

I can't be arsed with c**p like this, I'm new to the landy scene so if you can't give a civil answer it don't matter. I'm sure I'll find out somewhere.

The Freelander doesn't have air springs or any other kind of ride height adjustment, what were you expecting?
Nothing in the owner's handbook?
You didn't ask the seller to show you how it works?
If you're going to ask questions in order to stand the best chance of getting an answer you need to at least:
1. Give model, engine type, transmission & year at the start of a new thread. You know what you've got. We don't & aren't going to trawl through your old posts to find out. Life's too short.
2. Post the question on the appropriate sub forum - Land Rover Freelander. If you do a 'search' on that sub-forum you might - or might not - find an answer amongst the 32,000-odd threads to do with FLs.
If you post elsewhere - esp 'Anything goes' - or don't give full vehicle details then you will get the type of answers you got. Standard fare for LZ but as you appear to be new you might not have realised.
FL2 does have a 'terrain response button' but I've no idea how it works or what it's supposed to do.
Seem to be a lot about it on the internet incl youtube but you'll need to look it up yourself.

Terrain response 'probably' alters the traction control, gear holding etc,
it may also put more heat into into your curling tongs.

Alters the way it responds to driving through different surfaces. So it alters the traction control and abs parameters to suit.

In a word no. The FL2 TR simply modifies the way the Haldex coupling engages, and how the traction control intervenes, and tweaks the engine throttle response.
The Freelander 2 doesn't have air suspension, so no changes in ride height are possible.

Thanks for the reply Nodge, I'm new to the landy scene and have just bought my first Freelander so I don't really know anything about them.
I'm just trying to get an understanding of these great vehicles.

If you haven't got the owners book then if you can't find one to download, the main dealer should be able to get one for you, that will explain what all the different bits do, HDC etc
A Freelander 2 is basically a modified Ford EUCD platform not dissimilar to the Ford S Max, Ford Galaxy and Volvo S80 in design.
There's actually very little that is LR on the vehicle, as it has lots of components from Ford, Volvo and even PSA in the LR designed body.
It's a good vehicle over all, and does have that distinct LR commanding driving position.
Being a parts bin special, parts are cheap and easy to obtain, which goes in its favour.
Unfortunately it seems to rust just as fast as a Ford, which isn't so good.
