....and My Freelander 2 ones are FAULTLESS It seems that if some people are unlucky and have a few problems they whinge a lot, but most of us that DON'T have problems keep quiet - SO this is a little appraisal for us that do not have any problems with our Freelys 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

That does not explain why not every Freely has the same problem Our FL2 has seen its fare share of heavy rain, and deep snow, admittedly the sensors have become a bit confused (rarely) by LOTS of loose dry snow, but when on normal driving surface several minutes later all is normal again. I have never considered that a real problem and not as bad as some other unfortunate forum members have described. However, considering what your friend has described, maybe LR have had alternative suppliers of the sensors (or the whole system), some of which are of poorer quality that others 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

My experience is that this only occurs in or after heavy rain. So probably the sencors are not too happy about water.... 2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack. |

yesterday for the first time it kept a continuous beep with nothing nearby. Heavy rain all day. Will need to keep an eye on it. Havnet't cleaned them yet, so might just be that... i hope. |

If I had a penny for everytime I have given them a clean in the hope of stopping the beep I would have £3.67 |

s7gpt wrote . Mine did the same a few weeks ago, though its been washed since new (over 2 years) by the same method. Its also been washed since, with no problem. It sorted itself out in about an hour. Not had any problem with rain affecting them (and we get lots of heavy rain in Devon). Would application of 'bumper care' products help to prevent water ingress, as they are supposedly water-chasing? I do use the Autoglym one, though, like wax, it has a limited water beading period (4 - 6 weeks) as does RainEx on front screens.

Yes, but when the sun comes back, and the car is dried up, everything is OK again. The problem disappears with the sun 2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack. |

I know that this year has been fairly dry generally speaking and the incidence of faulty sensors may have been less. As far as I'm concerned (2007 FL2 HSE TD4), the things are still as erratic as ever despite having supposedly having sealant applied. As the car was out of warranty in May this year, I asked that a note of the faulty sensors be made on record in case of a cure coming along - whether that will have any effect I don't know.

Has anyone had a fix from the dealer with regards to this problem? I've got mine booked in to check it out, but they did admit that it seems to be a design fault and not much they could do as LR has no fix. Phil |

Mine started howling again... Left the car running and took a walk around the car smashing my furyfist into each sensor while listening to the sound. When I punched the left front sensor the sound disappeared.
