Hi all, Freelander 2 auto 14 plate starting issues not seen described before, help needed, press start button I get a click ( doesn't start) move the drive selector from neutral to reverse usually does the trick and it start? Any ideas?
 
It's possible there's a faulty sensor in the selector assembly. It's best to get a full systems diagnostic on the vehicle.

Thanks, did describe fault slightly wrong, it's when I go from park to reverse and back to park it starts! but I'll go to garage for a diagnostic check, cheers👍

Probably the microswitch in the selector needs adjusting.

Unfortunately there's nothing to adjust, but a basic cable position check can be done.
The selector lever is connected directly to the transmission control module by a bowden cable. This is why a diagnostic is needed, as a faulty position sensor should come up under interrogation by a suitable diagnostic device. If it shows a position sensor issue, then a replacement TCM will need to be installed and programmed to the vehicle using SDD. Unfortunately nothing is serviceable with this system, requiring replacement of the module.
 
Worth popping off the selector surround and checking connections are clean and secure.
And same at gearbox under air box.
But as Nodge says, diagnostic before you get to deep.
