It's in the body control module and it's B10A2 Crash Input. Clearing STCs didn't clear it so I'm wondering if there's a sensor that needs replacing after an inpact?

I've just had my Freelander 2 scanned for dtc's to diagnose which door lock is giving me a problem. I was surprised to see a code for crash sensor, that didn't clear. We hit a deer a while back, and had the front bumper all fixed up. Is there a sensor I'm supposed to change too?

Thanks, I struggled to find a brochure for the correct year when I was googling. Our (only) remote stopped holding its charge yesterday. Great! have ordered a new one (£110 +Vat with free coding, from our local specialist, LRS Engineering, Sible Hedingham, near Halstead, Essex) and only then...

I stopped by my local garage - inlet and outlet pipes on the compressor felt hot and cold, but could be better - he thinks it just needs a re-gas. Will think about that for sure when the weather hots up a bit - right now we're spending a little facelifting it!!

Yeah, that's a as I thought - Should be on until Econ is pressed. Hmmm, it's not running cold, will have a little investigation when I can

Can I check my S the should have aircon? It's got a button labelled 'econ' which I assume turns off the a/c compressor if you want to save fuel? But it doesn't get very cold, even when it's set to the coldest.

Yeah, that is kinda obvious isn't it! Didn't engage brain!

It was something like that apparently. Can't work out why this key looks so knackered though!

I phoned an ecu specialist to ask them and they told me there may be a reason like that. Seems odd though, surely reprogramming two new keys would disable the first ones? No idea why the ecu would need replacing under any circumstances!? Anyway, does seem a lovely car

Well I bought it! The guy tells me the only damage was it needing a new ecu and clocks to change keys apparantly, no physical bodywork or engine damage. I've only got his word for it! I'm impressed the Freelander 2 is such a nice drive! Smooth, powerful when needed. This one's on 18 inch Evoque...

Sorry, now I know it's a reference to being written off (that phrase was new to me). I guess I need to ask about what the damage was, and how the repairs were handled. Most I can find for sale are 140k for 7,500. This is on 71k and I'm going to get him down to £7000 or lower hopefully. I'm not...

I'll check if he fitted the leather himself. I've not heard that phrase before, what's a V-Car?

Tomorrow we're going to look at, hopefully buy, a 2007 2.2 td4 S. It's silver, has black leather, looks lovely. Any particular points that are important to check? It's 8 years old, I'm assuming no rust issues? I any particular well - known reliability issues I need to be aware of? The car...

I had a good look under the passenger seat, even photographed the amp - I didn't even think to look under the driver's seat!! Yes that would make sense re: the changer!

OK, I saw the in-laws today and had a look at the system. It seems he did have a disk with the car, it was the unit itself giving him problems! He'd like to know if he can get it working, I guess then there is still the question of any updated disks from later years that could work. The...
