Thanks for the advice, I have ordered a starter repair kit today and I will see if that provides a cure. It failed to start 1st turn of the key again after being parked for 4 hours so it is only a matter of time until it fails completely, hope I can get this kit and fit it first!

I know this is not a new question and I already supect what the answer is but I thought I would just run it past you to check. My garaged 2001 FL1 TD4 developed an intermittent niggle a few weeks back, after mornings of firing up ok it would just make a noise as if the starter was moving a...

Anyone?:confused:

Bit puzzled as to why my Freelander ESX hasn't got items other ESX models have. Got mine back in June and presumed as it was pretty much a top of the range model that the front seats would be heated but they weren't and subsequent investigation has showed they dont even have the heating pads...

Update regarding intermittent non start problem. Ordered a new camshaft sensor from Land Rover dealers in Coventry, should have been £94 all in but got 10% discount as I was booking it to the garage I had the warranty with. New one came with a grey plastic cover over the sensor tip and an oil...

A solution may be in sight. Took the car to Austin Garages, Tatenhill near Burton on Trent last Wednesday. Nick, who runs the place with his wife Jean is a font of knowledge with any BL/Land Rover product and has solved many problems for us in the past. He used the T4 analyser and no faults were...

Its the 2.0l BMW diesel in a 2001 ESX Freelander. Each time it turned over but failed to start initially, on a few it suddenly went as normal, on 1 it started ok next morning, 1 the time with the AA man and last night when it wouldn't start on my key but every time using my wife's key. I now...

Apologies if this thread has popped up before,I am a newbie and cant find any specific reference to it, so here goes. During the 2 weeks I have had my Freelander there have been several occasions when it has failed to start 1st, 2nd or even 10th turn of the key, eventually it has fired up or in...

Beginning of June we went from a Picasso to Freelander and so far it hasnt been the smoothest of jumps. Got our Freelander (2.0l manual diesel reg Oct 2001 76K, 3 month warranty) from Bristol via Autotrader, commercial vehicle trader, did a load of repairs, door locks, sunroof, new screen etc...
