Guys, decided do join this forum looking for some helpful info from Freelander owners.
What happened to me and to my 2001 Freelander 1.8 petrol 3dr hardtop was:
I took my car to a local Garage in regards to a misfire, no warning lights on the dashboard, just a very sluggish acceleration. I checked my self all sparks, leads, coils, etc, so I decided to run a diagnostic to see what happens.
Well, at the garage, after 2 days the guy told me that his computer was unable to read my ECU and asked me to take the car back.
After taking my car back with the misfire still happening, but now the warning light blinks constantly in the dashboard!!!
Anyway, then I took my Freelander to the local dealership which ran he diagnostic for me and the results were internal problems at the engine. (Headgasket, or small crack in the head). As the dealership is way too expensive I took the car back and thought, at least I know what the problem is.
But now what happens is:
My alarm gone off and simply doesnt work.
The door locks dont work as well, even when I press the button at the dashboard. I tried turning the key towards the back of the vehicle in the drivers door but nothing happens also.
The boot door window doesnt move at all, even trying to open from outside, or pressing the dashboard button. I also tried turning the key at the boot door and pressing the handset button, but nothing happens.
Seems all the doors locks, alarm, and boot door is completely dead! When I try to reset the alarm, nothing works also. The battery is almost new, full charged, the buttons inside the car are all connected properly.
Everything gone mad!!! Any help some one???? (apart from the engine problem, now the electric gone also!!!)
SOS!!!!
