THANKS This helped me when a mate was going to collect me in my Freelander from the airport after being away for 2 months. He said the key fob or the car battery was flat because the car was not responding to the fob asking it to unlock. A few searches later found this solution and it worked, thank God! One to remember as I don't recall reading about this in the manual. |

This has just happened to me! So annoying. Could it possibly be draining through the auxiliary outputs for the cigarette lighter and accessory charger units? This is the only thing I can think of as we locked the car last night and it was drained by this morning..... |

I would say it is a strong possibility - it isn't really much different to leaving an internal light on. JUst that some of these 'accessory chargers' can use more current than a lamp as they are small transformers and just never give up doing their job (even when the accessories aren't plugged in) 2002 Honda VFR800 2002 Toyota Celica 140 Silver (mid life crisis - again!) 2007 FL2 GS Manual Army Reconnaissance Green + freel2.com sticker 2004 Toyota Celica 140 Black - Gone 2000 Toyota Celica 140 Silver - Gone 1998 Toyota Celica ST Pearl Green - Gone 1996 Nissan Primera 1.6 - Gone 1994 Rover Montego 1.6 Auto - Gone |

Having read every post in this thread I want to throw my experiences into the hat. I’ve only had my 57 HSE a few weeks, approved used, 24k miles FSH. Yesterday (having left it stood for perhaps 5 days, double locked) I went out in it, started fine, went to the post office (3 minutes away) jumped back in. Put the key in and quite quickly pressed the start button (I was in a hurry). It fired for a second then shut down, then I just couldn’t get it going, I don’t think I gave the dashboard enough time to even tell me “system check in progress” and it wouldn’t release the keys. I think the dash showed HDC error or some other 3 letter code but as I was panicking a bit I can’t remember what the code was.

I was a way all of last week and when I came to start my Freelander2 it was dead, couldn’t even open the doors. The car is only 8 months old. This is the second time that this has happened to be in a Freelander, my previous one did exactly the same after a week.

I recall reading discussions about 'double locking' shutting everything down and such things as the 'bluetooth' link not dropping on a mobile, within range, left in the house. 2002 Honda VFR800

True - double locking will force a shut down of everything. |

I was miles away from the car, so Bluetooth shouldn't be an issue and I also always double lock it. The AA did a drain check and after about 5 mins is was still about 1 A, but he siad it should drop after that but could take 20-30 mins. Would should the drain be when everything is shut down, anyone know? |

I think you must have a problem - something is causing a 'drain'. My '11 GS stood for nearly a month (27 days to be exact) over the Xmas/New Year period in my garage (only single lock) and staretd first time on my return |
