I was interested to read this as my 2010 Freelander 2 broke down last weekend (no power and cutting out). AA came and attached their diagnostic machine and it came up with an EGR fault. Managed to get it to my local garage and they agreed that was the issue. Replaced but now a new problem, it's...

I'm writing this on behalf of my eldest son who is not a member on here (but have told him to join). He was driving home from Bristol to Falmouth last week and was finding automatic gear changing was not happening as it should. The vehicle would stay in high revs before changing and then going...

Thanks for all your advice and help, much appreciated as always xx

Yippeee.....finally discovered what the problem was on sons car. Cam Sensor was loose and 'flopping'. New sensor purchased from local LR dealer, fitted by local garage where we had taken car and now perfect. As for mine, called the AA and yep it was the battery. Apparently if you don't double...

Thank you so much - will keep you posted. I hope your wife makes a speedy recovery

Artic2 I called the AA for mine and it was defo the battery, new one fitted by them and all sorted now. I am actually now starting to think it may be the battery on my sons that's the problem as mine had exactly the same message flash up. ;)

If we can get the FL started would you mind if we took you up on your offer?

Arctic2 yes mine is an FL2 as well, son has been using it for the last few weeks until he got his delivered this Wednesday and again now his is at the garage. Mine is an 09 plate and have had it for 12mths. Not sure how old the battery is. I read on the FreeL2 forum that a 2nd earthing strap...

Wow that is really good of you to offer. If we can get it started today and get it back to my house I will let you know. The problem this morning is my son has gone to start mine and it's now got the same problem :(

Hi Looking for advice please. My son has purchased a 08 plate Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto. It was delivered to his house yesterday after a 260mile (give or take) trip from Coventry to Cornwall. He left it outside the house for 45 min and then got in to do the school run. Put the fob in the...

Brilliant. Thanks guys will pass all info to my mechanic. Xx

I know from trawling the forum that this is a common problem but I cannot see anything that helps my cause and would be grateful of any useful suggestions. I purchased a 1996 P38 2.5TD in May of this year. I knew it was a non-runner and required a gear box replacement but the car is...

Thanks for that Saint, very useful information.

Hi I have recently purchased a 1996 2.5DT Diesel P38. I knew it was a no-runner when I bought it but it was such a bargain, with only 112k on the clock and a full 12mth MOT. The seller had it in the garage for 12mths as it needed a gearbox replacement. Which he undertook in April this year and...

Hi all I have a 1.8s Freelander Mk1 (2002). At the moment is it fitted with solid discs but I know that I need to change these (binding probs). I usually buy my LR parts from Island 4x4 as they are really great on pricing (Euro Parts offer discs at £27 per disc and I can buy discs and pads...
