PLease help, I bought a 1.8 T reg petrol freelander last week and I am having a few problems.
SOMETIMES the car:
when I put the key in the ignition, the dash board lights do not illuminate and the car wont start,
The tail gate will not open.
The back window will not open, including the wiper and washer.
...other times the car is fine, and all works fine, then Ill return with heavy shopping and the boot wont open!!!

I have disconnected the battery and reset the alarm, it will work all fine, then after a journey, all fails again.

Please help!!!:mad::mad::mad:

Fault diagnosed

freelander

No, in all seriousness, I don't know, bit I am not a fan of the freelander
 
Very similar thing is happening in Australia with a 1998 diesel. in this case the battery will flatten in under 1 hour. The problem is intermitant but increasingly frequent.

Any suggestions?
