Newbie needs help.

Hi all. My names Matt and I'm new to owning Land Rovers. I took the plunge a couple of weeks ago and bought a 1998 Freelander. Will post some pictures when I get chance. Whilst I do like it I think I may have bought a bit of a lemon. It ran perfectly for about the first week and then wouldn't start. I had the battery checked and it was a dud so got it replaced. Ran excellent for a few days. I was out in it one morning and done a bit of running around without issue and parked up at home. Went out a few hours later and it wouldn't start again. I think it may be the starter? I'll start a proper thread about this today.

Hi Matt, welcome to the forum ...

Have a look in the Freelander section, most faults that occur are not that rare and have been covered ...

It might be the alternator.
