So I changed the Crank Sensor tonight and the car is running. No stops or jolts so far. I am too scared to drive it around the block because I don't want to sit there for hours waiting for a recovery van. So just running it on the drive for now. Hopefully this has fixed the cutting out. Thanks...

I changed the fuel filter this evening. It is running OK but I felt the engine stop for a split second and then continued to run. I think the problem is still there. So tomorrow I am going to change the crank sensor.

I think the ejecting fob was another issue. But it seems to be OK now. I think it was the cold weather causing it to not eject. Thanks!

Hi, no I have a Bosch filter and a sensor that came from UK Auto Sensors. The syphon hasn't arrived yet so just waiting for that. Cheers!

Thanks all for the replies. I fitted a new battery recently, so I went for purchasing a crank sensor and a fuel filter because it has never been changed for years. The parts arrived today so I will be fitting them this weekend unless it is raining. I will post back an update. Cheers!

I have a 2009 Freelander HSE 2.2 Deisel. I have been using it for the past 2 days with no problems. This morning, I was sitting in the car with the engine running and just entering an address into the Satvav. I just got ready to drive away and the engine just stopped with the message "reduced...

Wow, OK, I did not know it can get a bug and has a shelf life. That is quite interesting. I will investigate that then. Thank you!

If I just press the brake and start my 2009 FL2 TD, it starts and then starts miss firing and then stops as if it is starved of fuel. But if I keep my foot on the brake and accelerator, it starts, and I take me foot of the accelerator it keeps going as normal. The car has been standing on the...

OK, I will check this out as well. I think battery first and then this is the second thing on the list as it's never been done and well overdue. Thanks!

Actually, where is the best place to get a battery these days?

Yes, sounds like battery to me as well. All I can do is purchase a new one. Then find its the starter as well :).

Battery is about 6 years old. It's a Yuasa the AA sold me when I was desperate in the middle of nowhere with a dodgy battery. I charge it and it looks like its OK but I have a tester connected to the test port in the dash and its saying 9 volts which is not good. So it could be battery. I have...

Thanks for confirming what I was dreading. I will look at that at the weekend. Thanks again!

Hi All, Please could anyone help? I have a 2008 Freelander 2 and I have had it on the drive for 8 months where it has not been used. I started it about 3 months ago OK. Yesterday, I found the battery completely flat. So, it's been on charge for 24 hours and is fully charged. When I press the...

When I press the Stop button it takes about 2 seconds for the engine to stop. So hopefully that is OK.
