Thank you, I can't take the credit for its condition but it's an enjoyable tractor to drive!

If it clicking I would assume it trying to start. The Park switch usually does not allow that. A good code reader will help you out, but whilst you waiting double check all battery/starter connections and earths. Double check any connections that...

Interesting Video, but how does the Driver get away with Driving with all those Cameras on the 'screen ? 🤔

There is a nut and thread adjuster at the rear of the centre console for a quick fix, pop up the reartray to access just ensure handbrake is off before adjusting.. But given the age of any FL2 the brakes themselves could probably do with a service.

I presume it's a manual handbrake not electric one, if so then remove the drum and clean all inside and make sure everything is working as it should.

Depends what you want really… Very generally; An F1 is easier to work on as much less electronics. Decent ones harder to come by. An F2 is more modern and a nicer drive, filled with electronics compared to an F1, easier to come by but obviously...

I've just had a little google but can't see any pictures. The part you have there looks like the LHS, facing forward from back of car. Make and secure connection, carefully line up white clips and push home ensuring nothing sticking out.

There should be one on either side. As in your picture the wider end goes to the base of the tailgate. Green two pin connection at the top. Just be careful when fitting as if it catches you will have the same issue. It is a little fiddly but easy...

You should be able to refit that part without removing panel. Connect green connector, locate the plastic clips and carefully push into place. The bottom clip in photo looks damaged.

Yes it is and I was wrong ! I gave instructions to remove Evoque tailboard. The sport is similar but, you have 2 screws behind the handle cover, RHS, and one bolt behind the warning triangle cover. That part pictured is the anti-trap mechanism...

The panel on the Evoque is held in place by a series of trim clips. And 8mm bolt under the warning triangle cover. Use a plastic wedge or trim tool to lift one corner, then work your way around carefully popping each on out, I think there are...

Not shorted a starter for quite some time, but does that work with modern starters ? Not sure if they need an exciter feed to wake them up.

Before you buy anything two things to do 1: try smacking the starter with a hammer to see if it unsticks 2: the battery cables have nuts and bolts on them where other cables connect to the main battery cables make sure they are not loose and are...

Tried and no luck. Thanks for advising though.

Gorra be honest, never seen that before. You've done a battery reset, next step could be hard reset, disconnect both battery leads and touch them against each other. Worth a go ?

Welcome to LZ. We love market researchers on here.

That is a push on type seal, no rivets needed, but might not fit your series without mods.

Knock the knurled adjuster nut with a stout screwdriver or small chisel they will turn, also use some plus gas on them. 1 2 3 Also give the drum a few good knocks al round with a lump hammer

Have you backed of the knurled nut on the brake shoes, if not then do that as well as adjusting the handbrake cable in between the seats. Rear of the brake drum remove the oval grommet, this will expose the knurled nut. 1 2 Move it with flat...

I opened up my receiver box to expose the printed circuit and left to dry in tub of dry rice. An overnight in airing cupboard had it operating again after refit.

Did a LR Experience in a FL2 some years back the Freelander went 90% of the same route as the bigger cars. They will surprise you for most use. Just be aware LRE are expensive. I would shop around for local off road instruction and explain to...

Thank you so much for your reply My wife has a 2014 HSE that I wanted her to see how capable they are for 'mild' off roading and what is the best way to use the terrain response. That why I was looking specifically for a FR2, incidentally we did...

Glad you got a resolution. Honestly i was expecting £50000 not £50

Having resolved my issue, secured a refund, and avoided legal action, I can now share my experience. Outlined below is a summary of the facts and that is all I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions. On 6th February, I ordered a Marshall...

No. But firstly Welcome :) (we always like to see a post in here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/forum/introduce-yourself.20/ So what work did you have in mind for them to do? J

Yes I think that you are correct. I am going to leave it with my own mechanic to see if he can fix it, and in the interim I will look into the possibility of having it transported to him. I don’t know him personally but he has been in LR business...

Yes 100Km is a long way but if you have no one local and it has you stumped then I would be considering it. If this guy is recommended and you trust him a recovery may be money well spent ?

Nanocom or similar standard will be a best choice. But, if it were me I would be spending my money on something like Foxwell or Autell. I know many will say you need a dedicated machine but it would be nice to use them on a variety of vehicles.

Yeah its self closing with powered struts. Thats great, thank you for your reply. I'll try what you mention
