    Bad starting, help!! Loose wires!!

    i dont think glow plugs have anything to do with cold starting on direct injection engines, as far as i know there just for emissions on cold start up but i could be wrong;)

    failed CO emissions

    if all other readings are ok i would think the aftermarket cat is at fault,fitted loads of them,waste of time,some are ok for a while but most dont last very long

    faulty remote,if it opens ok with remote then you know all motors and recievers are working,so faulty open button on remote.might be expensive to replace as think remote needs to be coded by dealer:eek:

    Cannot unlock Freelander 1 / 1.8 with a flat battery

    no mention of key not turning the lock,only said key dont work?:( forgot about the 10mm spanner job for the bonnet but not every body can remember everything,i suppose a search of how to open bonnet would have sorted things out earlier.

    Cannot unlock Freelander 1 / 1.8 with a flat battery

    if your key turns the lock and it dont open it looks like the linkage between the barrel and latch has come loose,superlocked or not it should still open manually even with flat battery.looks like undertray off and jump leads or break window:eek:
