I've done a search of this forum but can't seem to find the answer so thought I'd start a thread. Iv'e had a reoccurring problem where the car suddenly goes into limp home mode and the dreaded F4 code on the dash. The other day I called the AA who kindly told me the error codes listed. These...

Well I know its been a while since this happened but the fault was traced to a faulty brake light switch. I was told it was a common fault. The bloke who fixed it said that the switch and brake lights are checked by the ECU every time you brake and if both are not sending signals back to the ecu...

Cheers for the replies. Iv'e been told by a mechanic friend that another cause is rain/ damp getting into the loom plugs near the fuse box under the bonnet. Ive checked these and one connector was sat in a damp patch where water had collected along with leaves and crap. Ive since unblocked all...

I got the 17" HSE alloys and they handle pretty good and as they are 225 wide they look pretty manly. Just remember that the wider and lower profile tyres cost more and use slightly more fuel. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Think you might be on the right track chaser. I will get the battery and alternator checked out to see if they are producing the right voltages. Doe's anyone know what voltages they should be producing while the engine is running. Don't know what to do about the ignition switch though. Maybe...

I forgot to mention that once you turn the ignition off and back on all is fine. Its been over 2 months since it happened last. Could the battery be at fault or the connectors as the battery does struggle when there's a slight frost but its been tested and the garage said it was fine. I had a...

Done some investigating and some suggestions are as follows. 1. solenoids 2-4 on the valve body need replacing ( where ever they are ) 2. The Auto gearbox cable needs adjusting.

I was driving the freelander this morning and all of a sudden the car seemed to really struggle to move. The SRS and hill decent lights were on and the dash trip meter was displaying 4 then F. This is the second time this has happened but last time all the dash lights were on and the temp gauge...

Only info I have found which ain't much is here Freelander - Rear Seat Squab Inoperative - Land Rover Hopefully its of some use to you

Ive been trying to find a SRS ECU part number YWC000610 but I'm having no luck. Ive tried loads of landrover scrap yards. Does anyone know if there are other part numbers that would be compatible with that version. Its off a 51 plate TD4. Thanks

I would say it could be the wiper stalk as I had the same problem and so did the chap in this thread. Get your hair dryer ready lol http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/freelander-front-wiper-problem-129479.html

Don't worry about. Just bought a set of new genuine freelander ones for £31 from fleebay. Still after the SRS ECU though if anyones got one. SRS ECU part number YWC000610

I keep missing them as I'm in and out all day :doh: plus I thought I would give someone on here the opportunity to sell theres without having to pay fleebay fee's.

Have you tried the WANTED section http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f37/wanted-section-121285.html

Your too far away for me plus I think its a little steep for my friends tastes. My Brother has just bought one albeit a manual for the same money but it was a 51 plate with a brand new engine in it although it has been round the clock. But its absolutely mint. Cheers anyway and good luck selling it.
