    Freelander 2 (LR2) security lock on coding?

    I thought it was a bit strange that the garage didn't update the injector values when they swapped some out so i thought i would take my new scanner for a spin and update them myself. The scanner has the option, however there is s padlock symbol beside it and when i attempted to change them i...

    So playing about a bit more, it scans 17 control units but gives 27 results - must be sub systems? you can generate PDFs, here is my first scan - - lots of errors which mainly cleared - but it is getting caught up in the FCDIM and not completing it when it comes to scan the sat nav? I went to...

    Freelander 2 aircon noisy

He ads a lub to older systems, you could get that done to see if...

    FL2 rear hatch lock jammed .

    i was going to say what denboy suggested - Try and take the pressure off the lock to let the solenoid work rather than force it. maybe push the tailgate while trying to pull the web out? good luck

    yep the activate instructions must have been for a development model or something i had to read between the lines, and the GUI is clean and simple - maybe a bit simple. I hate more functions less buttons, so yeah i think it will be a matter of randomly mashing buttons until i figure it out, not...

    so i finally got a scanner after a lot of thought and looking into this and that. Its a Foxwell NT530, stood me £160,I didn't want to spend that much but it can be upgraded with downloads for other manufactures at around £50 so seen it as an investment. You get 1 free download - obviously I went...

    Freelander 1 Can the EGR pipe be used to decarbonise the Turbo?

    recently watched a guy on you tube clean his daily out with snow foam!! he let the warm engine draw in a bottle then shut her down and let it soak for 10 minutes, and started back up again!! not sure i would do that. I got a carbon clean on my A6 -3L V6, and it was worth it - even though the...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) spring compressors..

    looks like it is time to do a rear strut - the joys.. Question is sealy do a long spring compressor with 390mm reach - seems long - but looking at the normal one at 244mm this is about the length of the FL2 spring compressed, will the normal one suffice, anyone have the free length to hand...

    Freelander 2 won’t go into gear

    need to do a few things to see, will it select gears ok with the engine off? when you did manage a gear was it driving ok? have you checked fluid levels? when you pump the clutch does it then select a gear? was there an issues before the rear diff getting sorted?

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Covid strikes the FL2... went to take it out for a spin and what a noise from the handbrake.. Both wheel mechanisms seized - not too much could still drive but enough to make getting the discs off a right job. top tip just as you have beat them enough to get a screwdriver in the front center -...
