    Freelander 2 Handbrake button

    Black and silver trim. Might be easiest just to remove all the silver on the hand brake lever button and paint it black with plastic model car paint or so.

    Remote central locking not working on first press of button.

    Problem existed before the batteries where replaced so I doubt any damage. I am suspecting an intermittent issue with the central locking control unit.

    Remote central locking not working on first press of button.

    Nope. It's the Freelander 2. There is a way to replace the battery soldering off the old battery and soldering on a new one. Its a Panasonic 3v rechargeable battery. And yes, you need to force open the fob and glue it back to together. Not ideal but have ordered a replacement empty fob into...

    Remote central locking not working on first press of button.

    Hi I have a problem when I press the remote button to unlock the doors, the central locking sometimes only responds after the 2nd or 3rd press of the button. Same issue when locking the car as well. It does it with both my remotes I have replaced the batteries on both with new ones and...

    TD4 Loose door mirrors

    The door mirrors or wing mirrors on my wife' 05 TD4 are slightly loose in that they have slight movement without being touched. The result is that when driving, the mirrors on both side tend to move inwards slightly. I know that they can be folded inwards towards the door but when folded out...

    FL 1 - Autobox gear selection problem

    Did a couple of trips in town this afternoon and it did do it again. Will keep an eye on it. Don't think it is anything serious at the moment.

    FL 1 - Autobox gear selection problem

    The selector light and dash display both showed D when it happened. I will keep monitoring it. Only happened twice so will see what happens over the coming weeks. Not sure if it has something to do with the temperature drop here in South Africa as we are entering our winter.

    FL 1 - Autobox gear selection problem

    Over the last few days I noticed twice that when putting the car in Drive after starting it, the gearbox does not seem to want to select a gear and is if the car is in neutral. Moving the gear leaver out of Drive and back into Drive again and all is right again. Other than this issue, no...

    05 Freelander TD4 loosing power when hot.

    Ok. Got the Freelander back today. The entire fuel system was tested as well as the injectors, turbo, fuel rail, all possible sensors ect. The only things that they could find wrong was a poor connection on the fuel rail sensor. This was fixed band the fault code is now gone but it did not cure...

    So the Freelander has been with the mechanic now for three days and he now been checked from head to toe. The problem that caused the error code was a faulty connection on the fuel rail sensor. Fixed the connection and cleared the error code and this is now resolved. The problem with the car...

    05 Freelander TD4 loosing power when hot.

    So the mechanic tested the whole fuel system, fuel pumps, fuel rail, injectors ect and all checks out. The only cause could be a sensor related or something else like the turbo self. Will have to wait for the mechanic to test further tomorrow.

    05 Freelander TD4 loosing power when hot.

    Hi Jamadant. Is this the fuel rail sensor that you are referring to beneath the air intake manifold. It basically sits on the end of the fuel rail on the right hand side? Will try this next. Thanks!

    05 Freelander TD4 loosing power when hot.

    Fuel pump could be the problem as I have heard that someone here with a similar problem ended up replacing the fuel pump. The fuel pump had a tiny leak, almost more like sweating, and when hot the problem would start. However the fuel pump does not explain the error code that I keep getting...
