Hi I'm new to the group and I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I drive a 2011 freelander 2 which drives great. However during very cold spells I get this issue.
1. Car opens up OK using the key fob
2. Key fob inserted ok.
3. Push start button radio & satnav come on but the dash readout is blank no self check.
4. Push start button second time radio and satnav die.
To me this all sounds like a bad earth of duff battery. I've checked and both and there ok. Tried jump starting and I fully charging up the battery overnight but still have the same issue. Now this is the point it gets weird, weather warms up and its back to normal, self checks and starts first time. Called an auto electrician but he could not find any faults. Has anyone else had this issue?

Welcome, it does sound you have a real Freelander, sorry problem:p
It sounds like your battery is suffering a touch from the cold.
The winter always finds a weak battery. ;)

Hi I wish it was that simple, when happened last time I fitted a brand new fully charged Bosh battery and it still had the same issue. Low and behold the next day it fired up fist time.

You need a quilt for it, poor thing.
I've seen thin pieces of polystyrene wrapped around batteries before. ;)
