Apologies to Nodge68 for not providing an update. Yes, the red/black cables with connector by the drivers side steering wheel was the correct connector and when all connected up, the light (looks like a factory chimney) on the dashboard lit up (on the right hand dial as you sit in the car, at about 10:00 o'clock) . This goes out when the car starts, like all the other warnings. Presume the previous keeper had disconnected and hidden this connector, as there was an HG issue and water was being lost. New HG later and reconnected connector and all's well. Interestingly though, the handbook with the 2005 car doesn't have this described or shows the warning light. however, manual published 2004, so not so surprising. has anyone a 2005+ handbook for a Freelander 1 facelift that shows this? Thanks again for everyones responses.
Hi can you tell me what item 26 is ?

That's the Engine Management Light - see attached images for details.

What year and model is it? Do you have a picture of the actual dash light?

It'll be a sensor giving an incorrect signal to the EDC. You're best getting the codes read to pinpoint the problem. The usual suspects are the rail sensor, MAF sensor or MAP sensor but the vac actuators can cause it too.

According to the handbook: - Engine Malfunction - Amber Illuminates briefly when the starter switch is turned to position II. If it remains on, or illuminates at any other time, the engine management system requires attention. Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and switch off the engine for at least 30 seconds. If the light illuminates again after the engine is restarted, it is permissible to continue driving (with reduced engine power), but qualified assistance must be sought as soon as possible, to prevent potential engine damage.
