When I drive uphill and have to stop I push my footbrake.

mine does it too. Its Just over a year old now and has always done it. According to a Landrover technician I recently spoke with, he said it is normal. Freelander 2 XS 2.2 TD4 Met Black, with Winter pack, 18" alloys with General Grabber AT2 wellies, MANTEC Sump and Tank Guards |

Hello,the reason the hand brake lets the car roll back is because it works of the axle not the wheels.The hand brake is crap anyway. I have a LR2GS with privacy glass and winter pack |

It's quite annoying as it makes it difficult to find the acceleration point on a steep hill.

If it's areally steep hill switch on the hill descent - that should activate the anti roll back function and you don't need the handbrake

My handbrake is excellent but the roll is normal.
