As noted in another thread, I've still not solved my starting problem after the engine is driven for 12 km and then parked for 15 minutes. I ordered a crankshaft sensor, but the only videos I find are for diesel motors which has a very easy access. I've found images showing where it is, but...

The Fuel Rail Sensor on a petrol Freelanders 2 (3.2 I6), part number LR015294 or LR005493, is located in an easily accessible location, but the single torx bolt is almost impossible to access without unbolting and partially lifting the fuel rail. Here is what I encountered: First, I left the...

Sometimes too much information can be overwhelming. With posts like this, I read comments that say "there is plenty on the net", but that's the problem. Too much to get a simple Newbie answer - What is this stuff and what do I need to buy? I have an Autel MP808 OBD reader, but it does not let...

For a newbie (like me when it comes to the FL2), finding where sensors are located is a challenge. This thread is about finding the cam sensors. The inlet cam sensor is toward the front of the car. The exhaust cam sensor is toward the rear. Both are held by a single Torx screw that can be...

NOT SOLVED: I thought it was the cam sensor but today the same problem re-occured. 2008 FL2, petrol 3.2, battery 13.6V (fully charged), ambient temperature 60°F/15.5°C., sunny dry day * Cold start fine * Drive 8km at 40-50 km/h * Shut off engine, immediate restart is fine * Shop for 15...

$40 Capapro 7" replaces OEM JDM Carrozzeria AVIC-HRV002 It amazes me when something cheap actually works. Amazon lists a $40 Capapro 7" Portable Carplay / Android Auto Wireless Touch Screen (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQL47587) that replaces the Pioneer Carrozzeria JDM screen to bring the...

New to me 2008 FL-2 3.2 Petrol JDM 156,000km - debugging So today, pleasant sunny day - 10-12° (C), the FL2 started it up, drove 6 km into the village (40 km/h). I came out 5 minutes later, the engine would crank but not start. As a pushbutton, it turns over a few seconds and then stops. Tried...

I’m new to Freelander 2 ownership, but I’ve been active in forums since they first appeared on the Internet. Initially, forums were the digital successors to old-school car clubs—where you'd elect a board, pay a membership fee, read a magazine and attend group meets. While there's always been a...

I bought my 2008 FL2 on Sunday, heavily discounted because it failed WOF (like MOT) on no power in the steering below 5-10 km/h. Power assist mostly works when driving very slow, and this failure is a known weakness in Ford era Freelanders. In mine it seems to get worse when the car has warmed...

Last week, I listed my 2004 Jag XJ6 on our NZ auction site and someone made an offer which I accepted. It's amazing how people buy cars without looking at them. I never met the guy - all done on the phone and electronic banking. And now, he is thrilled as he got a really good car for a very...
