Brief SDD summery U0300-55 - System programming failure - is not configured Reading a bit more the ICM VIN appears to be different to the cars vin, maybe this is our smoking gun?

Took me a while to get SDD to work, but seems to be working just fine. The CD400 radio is exactly the same though. (i can't confirm this was an exact replacement for the original) Will SDD tell me what came fitted as stock? I've tried...

The wire insulation was trimmed back to reveal black oxidised copper, which the solder wouldn't stick too... Trawled the web for best way to clean oxidised copper and a YouTube video created by Ed China ( Wheeler dealers) suggested a white...

Yep - common fail point for the wiring

Yep, blue/white wire is about worn all the way through. Withdrawing the loom into the boot isn't an easy option, as the wires shown are spliced into a bigger loom travelling to the OS diesel tank. There appears no easy way to effect a good -...

Appreciate the response Arctic 2. The difficulty in access seems the next hurdle, but with any luck, we've found the 1 amigo cause. (Access is improved when the haldex module is removed)

That is a well known area to keep an eye due to the loom rubbing/chaffing i would say you have found your problem.

Aye Grumpygel, yep - a farmers car - with high miles, which is probably borderline scrap, though engine sounds like its never wanted for oil. In fairness I only wanted the all terrain tyres for my black freelander, but have grown to like the...

May have found the culprit.. working back from diff module connector, probably circa 400mm up the cable Situated directly above the haldex, the cable disappears over the rear sub-frame Access is tight, so might try removing...

I've gone with TTforum's Haldex Loom testing protocols (and jumped straight to the CANBUS checks) The picture below is a copy of the first CAN line checks to do, before the pin 8 to pin 7 check.. With my meter, the resistance check values...

Update I'm part way thru swapping diff control modules around...and was thinking:- As 0136 code may be related to (Can Bus) poor wiring between haldex and ECM, I've looked at easier ways to identify any continuity issues. Apparently an ohms...

Re- front end rattles (up-date) NS & OS control arm lower ball joints have failed & trailing bushes have excessive movement. (New control arms/wishbones and both inner tie/track rods are on order.) Back end rattles Rear NS shock had so much...

Hi You have changed the modul with a preowned or new one ? If it’s a preowned one how do know is good 🧐 Regards.

I think (you need to check further) that your 2010 has a Haldex gen 4, and your 2007 will be a gen 3. Not sure they are interchangeable.

Check out the link below he also has some videos on youtube. https://www.haldexrepairs.co.uk/ https://www.youtube.com/@autofaultfinder4839/videos

I believe they are different inside. Look on the website @Arctic2 linked to - that site shows how to identify the different Haldex generations. Have a read here… https://www.freel2.com/forum/post198507.html

I've had a closer look at both units (photos below) ... and there are indeed subtle and glaring differences in the casing and equipment... The first image is the ( Santorini) black FR2's Haldex (on the garage floor) The second image is...

Thanks Freddie, yes, the older Freelanders haldex should be stock gen 3, and 2010 gen 4.....though side by side, both units are physically identical. Both haldex units have the same pump and filter position, see link below...

TBH, my Freelander has more rattles than Baby Care at present.

👍

Hard to speculate really, though the inner track rods have a gator covering the ball joint. Suppose finding play on this ball joint may not be immediately noticed like other bushes/ball joints around the car, unless specifically checked for...

Thanks Arctic 2

Good question (Alteredtech)...The pre-owned module is off my original 2010 (Santorini black) Freelander 2, which has no _ All terrain codes or warning lights, despite the haldex clutch pack locking up the rear wheels.and a whining diff. The...

Recently took my new (to me) Freelander 2 for a shakedown run and soon realised the car was pulling to the right --- indiscriminately. I remembered this thread and thought..torque steer....??? .maybe?.. After jacking the front off...

mmmm,,,,,changing the diff/haldex module didn't change anything code wise, but fair shout (Arctic 2). I trawled a few threads to check if coding was needed but found nothing to support coding the module, the link below talks about the haldex...

Throttle body was found defective and replaced. MAP sensor changed as original was broke at the stem..no more engine codes at present. Still have the amber terrain light.

Decided to get an eBay clone JLR mangoose cable and SDD v160,,,coming from china so may be a week or 2,s wait. At the very least I may be able to sort the radio out?

Thanks for the reply Nodge.

That may be closer to the truth as last owner did say the HU was a replacement. I've no idea if the radio fitted is an exact like for like replacement, or MOST , though seems a tad less on buttons to the 2wd freel..no phone buttons, possibly no...

Hi Nodge, thanks for dropping on the thread. interesting comment as my newly acquired 2007 fr2,s radio is telling me the vin is incorrect and then automatically shutting infotainment down.? (I still have the santorini black 2010 fr2, but have...
