I've a freelander 2.00 tdi, T-Reg. Think i've got a serious problem, when i brake my headlights come on, now i know there's a short somewhere. Now here's where it get worse, when i put my headlights on, my engine starts to hesitate, and it doesnt respond when i put my foot down, it only works if i put my foot on/off the accerlerator pedal. I've tryed to make sence of it, but its hard to explain. It only happens when i put my light on. do you think it could be the ECU.

unlikely to be the ecu, more likely to be a wiring short somewhere. as for where, phark knows, maybe in the steering column shroud ?

someone has posted the same problem a while ago, cant remember who. but the problem turned out to in the brakelight bulb- fillament for breaklight had broken and fallen onto fillament for park lights. change your breaklights and see what happens.

have you checked your breaklight bulbs???
Even though the local garage said they'll have a look, they werent able too. I checked my brakes lights, took them out and braked as usual and the lights didnt come on, now though when i put my lights on the rear light dont come on, but the brakes lights work. Is it the bulbs?

changing the bulbs would be a cheap and easy place to start, check all the connections too, as sometimes a bad earth can cause funny tricks

Put new bulbs in and check your brake and park light fuses. pretty sure this will be your problem.

So when you are slowing down people in front think your flashing.
At night when you want to see where you are going you slow down.
And it only works when you pump the pedal up and down?????MMMMMMHHH
I know sell it to a circus they'll love it

Check your earth connection on your brake lights and headlights... faulty earth can do strange things.
