I have gotten some strange errors on my Freelander, 1.8K 2000 model.

When driving it can suddenly loose power, and feels like it's going to stop. After a few seconds it gains power again. I have replaced fuel pump, inertia and filler cap. I have also gone over air intake and filter.
Any sugestion on what to test next?

Sometimes, really rare, nothing happens when trying to start. No click or anything.

My second error that sometimes the headlights stays on and i can't get them turned off. I have to fiddle around alot. Starting, stopping+++ to get them turned off.
Any suggestion? I have looked around for a wiring diagram for headlights but nothing yet.

Can all of these errors be connected? Bad wiring and so on.

I have another freelander that i borrow parts from to error test.

Ignition fault?

Hi
Regarding your first problem I had something very similar on a ford which turned out to be the alternator packing up and as I did nothing to fix it until the car would not start not only was the alternator f****d so was the ignition coil.

Thank you, i will try to replace both alternator and the coil.

I guess the first place to look would be ignition. Coil pack, plugs, leads distribution cap and rotor arm.
Dodgy immobiliser maybe?
As for the lights, sounds like a faulty light switch.

The Rave docs have electrical diagrams - http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f69/rave-disk-maintenance-manual-260227.html.

As for the faults - I'm not sure. If it were the alternator packing up - would the battery light on the dash not intermittently come on? There have been threads where a faulty battery cause all sorts of wierd and wonderfull electrical faults - so if you have a doner (is that a Kebab?) - maybe worth swapping.

I'd be amazed if the lights are controlled directly from the switch. The switch probably feeds a XCU somewhere that then feeds relays - so the switch is the likely culprit - but could also be shorts in the wiring (maybe around the ignition switch) or a relay packed up - any buzzing coming from relays? As you say, worth checking a circuit diagram to see exactly how the light wiring goes.
