Thank you so much. Any idea why the car lost power and the electric problem fixed by itself ? And does it mean the car still has life left in him currently on 181,000 miles.

Thanks @Nodge68 so a tight jubilee clip will solve the issue ?

Hi Everyone, A couple of days ago, while waiting in line to enter the car wash, my wife and I noticed something unusual. The air conditioning suddenly stopped blowing cold air, and shortly afterward, white smoke began coming from the bonnet. This was followed by all the electrics switching off...

Or is something draining charge from the battery ?

Update: I left the car double locked for about an hour and left the bonnet open. Came back didn’t unlock or touch the key fob to awake the car. Checked inside can see the red alarm light on so to confirm the car is still locked. Took the multimeter checked the battery volt it’s showing 12.2...

Hi everyone, I did the battery volt check by leaving the battery disconnected overnight. Before removing - 12.5 After removing the battery connection -12.6 morning (after leaving disconnected overnight)- 12.6 After connecting - 12.5 So I believe it not the battery. And also took it to Halfords...

Thank you all for your responses — I really appreciate the help. Apologies for the delayed reply; I’ve been a bit tied up with work. I plan to check the battery voltage as @miktdish suggested. I've been consistently experiencing issues with not having enough power to start the engine. On...

Thank you for your response, Nodge. I had a look at the battery — it’s a Bosch S5 010, which I believe is the correct type for the Freelander 2. I also noticed a date label marked “1108,” which I assume indicates it was manufactured in November 2008. If that’s the case, it seems to be quite an...

Hi Nodge, Thank you very much for your reply. I got the Freelander from someone about a month ago, and he mentioned that the battery is approximately a year old. It's a Bosch battery, though I'm not certain about the specific type. Could you please let me know the correct type of battery for a...

Hi everyone, I’m experiencing a significant battery drain issue with my Freelander 2 (2008 TD4 model). I’ve had both the battery and alternator checked by two different mechanics, and they’ve confirmed that both are in good working condition. However, if I leave the car unused for just a day...
