Won't start, Temp Gauge shows max with red warning when cold

Hi - Can't get my 2006 Freelander to start.
Was running fine, then one day cranks over fine but nothing.
Temp gauge is showing max with a red light showing.
Cant hear low pressure fuel pump anymore which was always apparent when switching ignition on.
Any ideas?

I'm assuming it's a TD4?

The coolant sensor being open circuit will put the high temperature light on, the gauge to max and probably put the fans on too. I don't think the EDC shuts the engine down with high temperatures, but it's possible I guess.

Yes TD4, but the fans are not running.

It needs the codes reading so the cause of the high temperature warning can identified.

Gauge can go to max if the CAN is down as well between the engine management and instrument pack.

What work have you had done lately? Flat battery and jump start?

Sounds like the engine management isn’t on line so start with basics - fuses, power/grounds etc

No work done on it, it's been running and starting just fine...... then suddenly this.
I'll double check the basics as you say
Thanks

Hi, Just had RAC look at the car.
They can't connect to the engine management, no signal, so can't read any codes.
Checked all fuses, power/grounds etc.... all ok.
Any ideas welcome?
Thanks all

Your best bet is to start your own thread, detailing all the symptoms.
