Now it could be anything or even just water in the loom ! but if it occurs when starting its possible the starter-motor is causing electrical interference with the throttle circuit for the ECU so the ECU is shutting down the circuit to protect its self. easy check is clear the fault & bump...

My FR2 was fitted with good year wranglers and had some major slides in the snow couple of years. Ago so bought a set of Vredenstien wintrac extreme 4s and the transformation in the snow was amazing. Last year drove 340 miles in deep snow and drove almost 100 miles on the m4 and. Never saw...

Well Well Well On thursday I had to take my wife's Fiesta 1.6 TDCi in for an oil leak, (very very small) as the sump seal had started to leak. Well its 5 years old now and the sump had to be removed. In the afternoon I had a call from the garage to say all done and they had taken some pictures...

Hawkeye is not just an EOBD fault code reader ! it will read all the engine diagnostic code and codes from other moduels too ! An EOBD reader only reads emissions related fault codes only and is pretty worthless.

FR2 should not be cranked excessively trying to draw fuel through the filter ! best way to shorten the life of the HP pump !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It must be bled before starting . Hand primer should always be used to bleed.

No I have found auto the nest mode. Drive like a nun and you can get 40mpg

Hi "Stratstones told me that it will pull away in 2nd gear unless under load" THEY DONT ! My Dealer didn't even know what gear they were supposed to pull away in ! I assumed they pulled away in 2nd as My E250 merc and a BMW I had always did but the FR2 doesn't unless its switched to sport...

only a week its given me 24-25 to the gallon, I have an 08 GSauto and it returns 34ish overall. On a steady motorway run it can return 42 if I cruise at mph, but soon as i touch 70+ it drops like a stone. Is the auto box working correctly and actually pulling away in 1st gear ! Mine was puling...

clean around the edge with cotton bud then use Mr Sheen as a water repellent coating. Mine work fine since.

Make sure the noise is only the tyres and not the rear diff or rear wheel bearing failure which is common on the Freelander 2 The rear diff bearings can now be replaced as a kit.

My FL2 diff started howling at just 1,400 miles from new ! & three weeks old ! and on holiday in the Alps ! power steering went at 17000 miles. too much else to list Im also looking to the future & it wont be a Landrover

"FYI, I know Sainbury's is supplied by BP" Base fuel yes., each distributor then adds it own additives !

My car is pampered ! washed and polished and always driven with great respect.Driven to the South of France each year. Run on BP fuel only, no supermarket fuel. It still looks brand new. Yes I did change dealers and the next dealer was worse than the first. My car has a hidden camera & tracker...

my auto doesn't suffer any vibration and if it did I would thrown it back at LR long time ago. On The Feel2.com forum there are some who have suffered this annoying vibration and eventually had a change of vehicle. It sounds like your L/r dealer is taking the P*** I would suggest you select...

They are now stumped and claiming its a CHARACTERISTIC of this model. Normal landrover response with an FR2. Every fault mine had was responded with yeah its a characteristic ! They dont have a clue. dont get shafted

I have had nothing but appalling treatment from landrover customer services to the point of rude !. I bought an FR2 new which has been a pile of p## Most unreliable piece of junk I have ever owned. In fact at 4 years old now its only done 22k from new because for three years it was hopeless at...

just because you have had a new fan speed controller replaced doesn't mean it works ok ! Mine suffered the same, dealer spent a week looking for all sorts of faults & it was yet another fan speed controller. To date mines had 3 or 4 in less than 20.000 miles !

Why hijack a thread about colour for this tirade? Miss-read the window shopping bit ! I thought the the Op was out to buy one !
