2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Indus Silver

Freelander not starting

My Freelander 2 will not start.
The water gauge is at the top of the red and light is on but wont start.

I've changed the coolant sensor the reservoir sensor .
then i thought it was the steering lock changed the steering emulator still wont work.
I've made sure the battery is ok as well.

Anybody got any ideas ?

Get a diagnostic tool and see if there are any codes stored. Might help to narrow down the problem.

Hi, it's not letting the diagnostic computer into check what's wrong with it .

The water gauge is showing top of the scale, I assume the engine is cold?

Check the battery voltage for starters. If it's over 12.5v take both Pos and Neg leads off, touch them together for a few seconds, replace and then try to start the engine and check for codes.

If the Code reader is not showing anything make sure the pins are all straight if they are

Then it's likely a case of getting someone to check the ECU wiring using a scope.

Could be the emulator has caused an ECU fault

2009 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Rimini Red

What year is the vehicle?

Are there any ignition lights showing?

When does the coolant temperature gauge show maximum? Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.

The first thing is to get the ODB Reader working, if the car has damaged CAN Bus (physical or via module/plug connected to it) then I believe the reader will have trouble interrogating for the error codes.

Start with what changed immediately before fault. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 77k+ miles) (MY2015)
Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History
(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

Check under the airbox housing for damaged cable. The housing can sometimes rub on the wiring loom causing the wires to cross or break.
