Thanks npinks.....it's strange becasue all the electrics work and car starts again when left so the battery is fine. I have enquired with the Dealer regarding software and (because I asked him before I bought the car) all necessary updates have been performed. |

Had the same proble with both of ours. Both sorted by 'system upgrade' at the dealers. Suggest you go back and try them again. 2009 Grey HSE Auto

if it happens again i would call LR Assist out and let them link the car up to the machine, and see if there is a fault code and test the battery (mine was working fine and then started once LRA arrived )

Mine failed to start yesterday morning. I'd booked it in for its first service, and because I'd set off early, and arrived before opening hours at the Land Rover dealership, I had enough time to stop to buy a newspaper, and rather conveniently less that 100 yards from the dealership, the start button failed to respond. SO, I phoned for assistance. The helpful mechanic told me I had immobilised it, and I had to agree with him, because the trip etc did not go back to 0. Anyway, when I went to the dealership I was told that the software upgrade would cure the problem a lot of Freelander 2 owners are experiencing. So having paid £233 I went away thinking that all would now be well. Guess what, this morning it did not start and all trips went back to 0! It is a lovely vehicle, and I would not want to be driving anything else, but i am a bit disappointed. |

I've been faced with this problem a couple of times too. Each time it happened I was in a hurry. It is vital to take your time to start the car. After inserting the key, wait 2-3 seconds before pushing the start knob.
