If it's not been used for a while, then it's possible the turbo actuator or turbo vanes have gone sticky. This would give a code though.
It sounds like you need a better code reader, as LRs can be a bit fussy as to which codes are shown on what reader.

Icarsoft is better than an ELM. I use Torque with an ELM, which is ok with live data, but it's limited with codes.

Some previous experience from my Defender might help. Not a Freelander, but symptoms / cause might be the same. After a battery is reconnected, a number of the vehicle systems will re-set automatically. Some resets require the vehicle to be driven. I experienced this on one occasion and noticed the management light had come on. After a few miles, a stop and a restart, the light no longer came on and all was normal. I did some research on tinterweb at the time and concluded the light-on situation was normal.

There's nothing to reset or recalibrate on the FL2, the adaptations are stored in non-volatile memory, so nothing is lost when the battery is removed, except the trip memory on the dash, and the window one touch calibrations.
