Yepp! Me as well. But I have the impression this only happens when left in the sun for a while, and the car is heated up. I dont concider this to be a problem though. Works fine otherwise. 2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack.

Same problem here, but I consider this to be pretty irritating - I had parked in the sun after a dusty mountain drive and went for a walk. When I should start the car later the wipers scraped across the dry dusty windscreen, which is not recommended in the handbook
I guess we will have to remember NOT to leave the wipers in the Auto position, which defeats the reason for having auto wipers  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I leave my wipers in auto all the time as I find the system works brilliantly, my wipers on my 07 GS do not give a single swipe on start up...very strange how some would be different!

Does Fornby get warm days and sunshine ( ) as it is only on these occasions the auto swipe on startup seems to happen
Seriously, it could be just a software problem that I will consult the stealer on the next service  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I had this problem, and consulted the dealer, they adjusted something, not sure if it was a system update or not. It now doesn't happen as often, once a month, if that, but my wipers seem less sensitive to rain. beofre the fix they worked really well, these days, I have to keep doing a manual wipe, as they don't always start up quick enough.

Maybe it is best to remember to turn the wipers off when stopping the motor - and close the sunroof and the windows , although these can be closed using the keyfob
What we need is a user alternative choice update - plug inn and tick off all the alternatives you want  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

You can close the windows using the Keyfob?? How do you do that??

to open or close the windows (in the UK) you press and hold the open or unlock button depending on what your want

unlock = open
lock = close Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Jan 07 GS, when on the move I think the auto wipers work quite well, BUT if left in auto when the engine is turned pff I get a 'dry scrape' 95% of the time when the car is next started

Brasco, it works on my LR2 whcih I am assuming is almost the same as the North American spec models.

Not sure if they are related but maybe you need to check that the one touch windows are working? You need to make sure you keep the remote in direct line of sight with the car for it to work and simply press and hold the unlock button.

Having said the above their may be a US regulatin that specifically states that this feature should not function maybe...... Once you've tasted GREY you'll never go back!

I have just had a phone call from Landrover customer support asking me if I am enjoying my new car? I of course said yes, what other answer could there be! I informed the friendly lady about the wiper problem and she said she would pass it on to the little man in the grey dust coat who sits in a room all on his own with a pencil and notepad muttering to himself

Will the problem be fixed in an ECU update? won't hold my breath.
