I bought my Freelander 2 in June and its great.

However, I drove it in the dark for the first time last night and I'm sure the headlamps are 'flickering' when I hit bumps or ridges in the road. However, over speed humps, their aim is resolute. Is this a characteristic or does my car have a fault?

Thanks.

my hse did this, poor connection on one head lamp bulb was the problem on mine.

They shouldnt flicker, theres a problem somewhere there.

Probably not your problem, but be aware that they flicker if you use the screen wash - the headlamp jet gives a flickering effect. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Yes it does youre right, Ive got a friend who has headlamp wash on his MINI and mentioned a similar thing, he didnt know he had the system fitted, he had only had the car 7 years you see.

No, I'm not using the headlamp wash.....

The height of the beam projection stays the same, but something flickers when a sudden bump or ridge is encountered.

Team Valley Land Rover have said they will look at it for me.

Didn't say you were - just adding a comment in case others have the same situation. Only other time this has happened to me - and not on a FR2 - headlamp full of water! Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
