Hi guys,
Freelander 2 question.
I have a fault on the car that says ‘’HDC Fault, System Not Available’’ with 3 warning lights.
The car drives fine but the ABS light is One of the lights that is on!
I took the car to be serviced and mentioned the fault. He said he would take a look at it and ring me if he could fix the problem.
On collecting the car he said he has not serviced the car as there is a major electrical fault and might not be worth it (car is worth about 4 grand) he said he changed the rear ABS sensor but problem persists and charged me £170 for the privilege.
He then gave me the address of a garage that specialising in electrical faults.
I’m fuming as I feel the sensor was replaced but didn’t need to be?
And where do I go from here? If the computer is not reading the sensor but the sensor is brand new, what do you guys think the problem could be? I want to sound like I have some understanding of the problem so I don’t get ripped off!
I noticed people talk of battery? Would that have been picked up on the computer? As I do tend to get through batteries due to short drives with the dog.
Any help welcomed, thank you.
