Hi Everyone, i have a freelander 2 2012 model and have had the problems with the start up ? key docks ok with all the lights on and it doesn't start can anyone help me with this issue and has anyone had this problem in there car? I thought it might be the battery so i replaced it with a new one and it did it again. it only happens now and then but its starting to be more frequent
.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post I'm a first poster. cheers australia lamb14

Earth strap or connectors in the passenger side footwell spring to mind http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic22521.html? Do you get this problem with both key fobs as it could one of those?

Thanks Rich it does the same with both keys but i will check the earth strap to see if it makes a difference.
cheers

Hi lamb14

I had this (on a manual gearbox) just after purchase and also suspected a weak battery. The no load battery voltage is still a bit low at 12.5ish but the fault never came back so I suspected an intermittent clutch sensor. But the startup conditions on an auto are different: I assume the ECU has to know if it is in Park or Neutral but you didn't see any indication on the dash.
