i have just developed this same issue, i will have a look. Is there any way of actually confirming the amp is powered up?

it was actually an earth lead that had failed - the clamping points were fine but the actual conductor had snapped (hidden by the insulation) - should have spotted it really if I am honest but there you go. Total cost, diagnostics / 8hrs labour +recovery from my house to Nene + free up the...

i will try and get the fault narrowed down when i speak to them next

Well, had a phone call this afternoon the car is fixed! it transpires there was a wiring fault causing an earth in the ignition system - everything all back working now. I havent seen the bill yet but it will be based on 8hrs labour relating to fault finding and wiring repair

i caved in - the car has gone off to the professionals to be looked at. Nene Overland picked it up yesterday - they were recommended by someone in work who had used them. However I have now read through a few online reviews and there seem to be mixed messages about them. I suppose i will have...

nope, changed the ignition switch - still no joy, its too wet and miserable here to do anything at the moment. I think I will need to move on to the gearbox solenoids as my next step

i only have a basic fault reader

just had the ignition out, mine is different, its this one:- Freelander ignition switch 02-05 Part No YXB 100350 | eBay being a fiddler I took it apart, there is a spring in there that wasnt seating properly, I put it back as it should be and tried it, the F4 fault now occurs when you put the...

thanks ever so much for taking the time to share this, Its dark when I get home from work so I will get amongst this the weekend,

ok, i removed FL 3 - which had a picture of the key on it so I assumed is ignition - that just meant I got no reaction when turning the key, so I put it back in - at least I know that one is ok. One thing I need to correct from my earlier posts. I retraced my earlier steps. If i reconnect the...

thanks for that!

is this "large bolt on isolator" in the engine bay? i have seen some photos on other threads but they are close up i cant see the surroundings to work out where it is

ok, I have found the thread on oil changes / level checks - however as my engine wont start and is clap cold I wouldnt be able to check the oil level with any accuracy - I suppose I could fill till it overflows the level check plug - and if i ever get it running let it warm up with the plug off...

yes they do (the dash display cycles back and forth from gear position and f4. However I tried rolling the car back in neutral and it was solid, the brakes are off but I still think being sat for over 4 months has caused them to bind, that shouldnt stop the starter from spinning though should...

have had the fault reader on, just after connecting the battery I got the following codes: P0753 - shift solenoid A P0758 - shift solenoid B P0763 - shift solenoid C P1719 - 2-4 brake timing solenoid P0702 - Gnd return (sensor earth) P1718 - Reduction timing solenoid however these all cleared...

the old starter was definitely goosed, there is a clicking from the interior fuse panel area, so now starting the arduous task of electrical fault finding. there is the two clicks mentioned in previous posts, one from the stick one from somewhere else indicating there is a mismatch. Will also...

months have passed, changed the starter motor yesterday, problem still there, bugger. Could it be something at the gearstick end?

I have the starter unbolted but there is just too much stuff in the way to get it out, there seems to be some sort of heat exchanger at the non drive end that it fouls against

do you think I will be able to get to it from underneath?

fuses checked and all relays swapped round one position
