My 2007 2.2D, now 5000 Km has developed a strange fault. On inserting the key fob, the fob is ejected slowly. On re-inserting the trip meter and trip computer are both re-set to zero. This has happened twice since new. I have already had one software upgrade that fixed the radio not turning off problem. Otherwise a truely satisfying vehicle and way better than my X-Trail.

Any ideas?

Looks like a trip to the software upgrade centre to me. Mine did this often but as now settled down to once a blue moon. Emilys waiting till 1st service which is not far away. I found that pushing clutch pedal well down sorted some of my none start problems. Enjoy your F/L2 still pining for my 3dr, no removeable hardtop, no drop glass tailgate, no roof rack, no pockets everywhere to stow all that man kit

Thanks Upnaway, I have since found a related thread with lots of info. My LR dealer is very helpful and I have introduced them to the Freel2 site to help them with diagnostics

It's refreshing but I can't be the only one slightly worried that we're teaching LR how to do their job?!?

Another troublesome Freelander 2 to add to your list. Returned to dealer yesterday, but troublesome again today.

I have since discovered that the re-set can be reliably beaten. When the fob is ejected with much frantic clicking, lock and unlock the doors by using the console switches. Re-insert the fob and all is well with no re-set. This works every time.

Go to your dealer! their is a download to fix this fault!
New software is loaded into the instrument module.
they will also load up any other software fixes that you need at the same time.
all the best Tony.

My Freelander 2 had the "upgraded software" at the dealership on Wednesday. It failed to start yesterday and today.

non starting will be another SW update

Is there a surefire fix to this problem? Last time I spoke to the dealer they infomed me that Land Rover had not sorted it yet. Also get the revs dropping problem.

i have had the revs dropping problem sorted by a SW update, seems fine now Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
