hi,we pushed my truck forward around 30 feet on a slight uphill,we then put it in fourth and pushed it backwards,when we do this it turns more than usual then just wont turn,battery is good and starter + solenoid seem fine so we are now starting to think its a bit more serious than just the...

hi again and good morning.i have been told there is a low oil pressure sensor fitted on this engine which when there is low oil pressure it wont allow the engine to turn hence stop any more damage,my question is that my freelander had been stood for around three weeks with next to no oil in the...
