Freelander-Hill descent- newbie needs advice !!

You can select it at any time (even when doing 70mph on the Motorway) but it will only work if you are 1st or reverse gear. If everything is working correctly if you are not in the correct gear the green warning light will come on but flash, once in the correct gear it should light continuously.

The hdc switch may have failed, or the wire come off it.

Owners manuals here: TOPIx - TOPIx

or here: TOPIx - TOPIx and select owner on the rhs.

Also available in the rave disk, which tells you how to fix your Freelander.

Thanks both of you for the advice...
Any ideas on fuel consumption ? I have been told by someone that used to own the same model, that he got around 40 to the gallon--- but the bloke at the garage I bought it from ( Nr. Ellesmere)- reckoned on 30.....
Any comments ?

Mines an auto and I get 30 -35mpg depending on road conditons. Last years snow dropped it to 25mpg!!!

been getting bob on 27mpg out of my td4 auto, consistently over about 4 months, never varies.

Hippo - any idea where to find the Rave Disk?

Hello iv just bought a 2001 TD4 also, when i pull the yellow trigger nothing happens at all no lights no nothing.... any idea why? when the ign is turned on and all the lights light up on the dash for a second there is a green hill discent light and a amber one with a ! bissed it,but they both go out when it starts.then nothing at all when the trigger is pulled,also the trigger seems to just spring in and out without a click. Please hell snow cameing.....

Search and your find broken wire a possibility

Sorry that was Please HELP snow is coming

look at switch and wire breaks off often-easy repair if it is

Thanks ill check it out in the morning, and that yellow trigger! should it click or is it just a springy thingy...?

Oh Feck!!! Don't touch that switch unless ye want yer doors to fall off and yer bonnet disappear!!!!

pass never owned a freelander -but wire snapping off switch a common fault that stops it working

the yellow trigger is to turn it off ,to turn it in slide the black collar downwards,it only works in 1st and reverse,it actually does the job

Thanks mate, yes it was sliding down bit of the yellow trigger that had could me out and now i know its all up and working. Thanks for you input. Merry chrimbo. and have fun in the snow...
