Hi everyone.
I have freelander 1 sport and now the SRS light has come on on the dashboard display.
Anybody know this fault, usual suspects to cause this plz. Your help is appreciated.

First easy check is plugs and wiring under front seats, feet can cause problems with this!!

After that it helps to get the airbag fault codes read.

Can be a broken wire in the steering wheel rotary wiring behind steering wheel airbag, but best to get code.

BEWARE, if you make or break a connection with the battery connected, an airbag could deploy. Best remove battery and wait 30 mins then check wiring, make any repairs and reconnect.

Not often the SRS light needs an engine replacement.

Cracking effort.

I don't think replacing the engine will solve the SRS light.

Care to share?
If it's a TD4, the engine isn't known to fail, other than the odd crankshaft breakage.

Find another mechanic then. There are plenty of LR specialist about, but the Freelander 1 isn't a difficult vehicle to work on, and the TD4 seldom needs engine changes.
