What's the best place to start?? Cheers

If it clicking I would assume it trying to start. The Park switch usually does not allow that. A good code reader will help you out, but whilst you waiting double check all battery/starter connections and earths. Double check any connections that...

Check all the wiring connectors at the various modules behind the glove box. It's been known for passengers feet to dislodge plugs under there.

It's a click from within the cab, my guess is electrical, not engine though. I checked brake lights and they operate so I assume brake switch is ok.

It will only start in N or P. Do your brake lights come on? Duff crank sensor would only drop it starting not cranking. In my opinion

So it's an auto. The dash recognises when I shift. Foot is in brake pedal. I have tried all the gears to try and start. Thinking crank sensor, but trying to understand if this would prevent starting all together or just rough start and running.

Update, so still not starting or even cranking. I can hear a click from within the cab of the vehicle. I still have the HDC fault..would this stop engine from starting? I have replaced the startet and a brand new battery. So now at a loss. My...

I have looked at the started, and to be fair I'm not confident it's any good. I have taken it out and shorted it and not firing, so next on the checklist is a new starter. Will keep you posted. Thanks

Before you buy anything two things to do 1: try smacking the starter with a hammer to see if it unsticks 2: the battery cables have nuts and bolts on them where other cables connect to the main battery cables make sure they are not loose and are...

Tried and no luck. Thanks for advising though.

I'm going to replace the whole starter as it looks rough and the solenoid connection is poor. Thanks for the reply 🙂

If the starter is clicking, then the ECM is probably sending the start signal to the start relay. It's not uncommon for the starter solenoid contactors to burn out, there's even a solenoid repair kit available to solve that issue for about £20.

So the key is accepted, all the central locking etc works. I have ignition, press the button and a click, I'm thinking maybe starter motor so have removed that and will replace, I shorted the starter and nothing. I have a basic obd reader with...

The log displayed on the infotainment screen is just showing the infotainment system operating cycles. There's no OBD2 connection in the infotainment system, so it can't display anything engine related, just infotainment data. Have you put an...

Gorra be honest, never seen that before. You've done a battery reset, next step could be hard reset, disconnect both battery leads and touch them against each other. Worth a go ?

Freelander 2 2007. So I have HDC not available and won't start. Brand new battery added and still same, however the LCD displays a log. Any help or suggestions?? It's like the immobiliser is not deactivating. I have taken the battery leads off...
