Hope you get it running sweet.

The F2 is about the same length and height as F1, but quite a bit wider, significantly heavier and significantly more powerful.

The tailgate window has been discussed at length on here. There are a number of reasons as to why it won't shift. Things like the rear wiper not being parked off it (or rather the sensors not indicating that), the door latch sensor. Usually though, I'm pretty sure, just replacing the...

Are you still on your original or new aftermarket Britpart one?

Does it still drop when you open the door and raise when you close it?

At work, we can now get 300+ah lithium batteries out of China for basically the same price as we source 2 x 120ah lead acid locally.

Don't muck around trying to sort the locking nuts out, just get 5 Freelander wheel nuts from a breakers and get those locking ones taken off. Miraculously, my local stealer removed them free of charge, I followed him round the car putting the replacements on as he took the locking ones off...

Good suggestions above. Which solenoid? I presume you mean starter. There is a fuel cut off solenoid on these I believe on the bulk head. Might be faulty. I believe you press to reset it, might be worth giving it a press and seeing if the car starts.

I think @htr used springs from this outfit... https://dobinsons.com/ On their site, they quote a 30mm lift (more travel?) but I'm sure @htr said he got 20mm.

£50k for a Cherry. Yeh, fook right off. Ali's decent proper Freelander is much better value at £50k. Or, for £50k, you could buy a decent proper Freelander and a lifetime of diesel.

The odds are that the VCU is knackered if its never been changed. However, also make sure that the car has been maintained with the same make/model of tyres on all corners as a mismatched tyre has the affect of 'engaging' the VCU because the props will turn at different speeds - even at low car...

This is true, but it won't be 'freely' because it will also need to turn all the props, 2 diffs and another wheel. So it won't be like spinning the wheel on a 'normal' car, but it will turn quite freely.

Hope it fixes the problem. There doesn't have to be a question in a post. Observations and general chat are just as much part of LZ as questions.

It went to a jigsaw scene.

Shouldn't the MIL light go out after a self test? Why does it stay on?
