Good afternoon, more help required please chaps , Freelander v6 failed mot on SRS warning light on, mechanic has tried everything but he can’t seem to find any fault , recently put the land rover reader on it and although it’s showing no faults it’s not letting us connect to OBD11/EoBD. This...

Thanks for everyone’s help, new battery and replacement cable ran to stater and she’s working fine now, clear of codes and sliding great. Bit of a headache but with new battery and cabling defo resolved a simple fault but I think the corrosion of the earths was throwing the limp mode F4. Next...

So after checking everything for the hundredth time some progress. After testing starter it seems ok , I’ve replaced spade connector and tidied wiring up. The F4 code has now vanished and it attempted to turn over 6 times ,Im low on fuel but still didn’t fire but it is now cranking , bad news...

No I havnt , is it as simply as just holding the starter while I put the positive spade connector onto the male end and see if it works ? Does the main cable need to be added aswell to the starter aswell . Sorry this is something I’ve not done before

Ok thanks , nope it hasn’t cranked over , only briefly when I tried spare key and cleaned all the barrel contacts and ignition switch , now it’s back To just clicking , hence why I’ve removed started and now checking every cable I can see/ replacing and checking all earths areas for corrosion, I...

Yep tried that and still no joy. I’ve spent today removing the starter , which still looks new and contacts excellent, I have cleaned all the earth points and any corrosion on all cabling, I have stripped back to new cable and re tighten all battery connectors, I have also done this to the start...

Thanks for your reply, I’ve already had a landrover reader on and only previously fault was break pedal switch which I have replaced and since cleared the reader, this is why is causing so many issues on exactly what is wrong or causing it , most F4 codes are immediately present on turning the...

Thanks for your advice, yeh I removed battery and charged it to just over 13v and still no joy,as soon as I try turn it over it simply clicks for a few seconds and then silence. I do have a new battery ordered to try. I also charged it via another car for 15 mins and it still didn’t do anything...

So this morning I tried to get the code to trigger without turning the ignition on to crank, electric only . Good news is that there wasn’t any F4 code. All gear selection worked fine and replicated the gear on the dash. On attempting the crank the F4 code came up,it didn’t turn over and no...

I will try in the morning and report back

Cheers for your reply. Yes I’ve looked at getting a new battery today, I’ll try charge it fully first and see if it holds enough juice to start it and if it does I’ll get a new battery. I did randomly this afternoon try my spare key and would you believe it , it actually turned over and tried to...

Thanks for your response , really detailed. A month on and after fitting the new break switch it started first time and being running fine . However after 2 weeks of not being driven as I was offshore and the harsh snow this week again the Freelander has failed me . It tried turning over several...

Thanks hippo, both occasions the car has not been able to start or even crank with F4 flashing , code reader had the faults above . Will try the barrel connectors method 1 tomorrow and will have a good check with all cables etc

Yes check the electrics and each led light is correctly lit and displayed on the dash. I have ordered a new break switch anyway just to try , I’ll go over all the earths again and check starter motor connections etc like I did previously and check the twisted connection cables. failing that...

Yes I managed to get a landrover reader and the below codes came up which I couldn’t remove. C1221 break pedal switch electrical failure previously had the same issue 2 months ago and same code and a clean and wiggle of wire and managed to get her started other code is c1151 Can gbox data...

Hello, when I first turn the key to fire all seems ok, all normal lights are on and then go off and the Parking P is On the dash, as I turn it to turn over it simply then changes to a F4 and all the dash lights come on and a clicking starts but gradually fades out? I checked the spade end...

Good morning all again randomly this morning after the trucks been used continuously for the last week it’s stuck in limp mode F4. It doesn’t allow me to even turn over the engine. Checked loose connections and removed battery and put back , I have a full battery and everything is working on...

Thanks for your reply. Do you think these codes are just from a power supply issue and hence why it’s in limp F4 mode. I’ll test the battery today, the earths are difficult to find on the v6 auto as it’s so compact but will have a go. I did had jump leads using my wife’s car on the battery and...

Hello, I have come across an odd issue with my freelander this week, it was used all week driving approx 100 miles a mixture of road and light dirt tracks. The following morning on start up all that happened was a loud clicking noise followed by the display flashing rapidly and and a F4. It...
