My daughter and her fiancée have a 2010 Freelander TD4.
On Saturday it started to flash up loads of warning lights and the dash would occasionally loose power completely, with the instruments shutting down.
I put a code reader on it and got a number of low voltage codes, as well as a few relating to glow plugs etc. I cleared all of these with no problem. There was one relating to a clutch solenoid problem in the auto 'box but I couldn't clear this.
I checked the battery and it was down to 12.09 volts, with the engine running it was about 14.5 volts.
She took it to a garage today and they confirmed that the battery was on the way out and fitted a new one.
Unfortunately the fault is still there and it seems to happen when the brake pedal is pressed.
Anyone have any ideas? Is there a known problem with the brake light wiring on Freelanders of this age?
