As many of you may be aware my freelander 2 HSE (Genuine wheels) is currently in the sick bay of the local dealer of which it is now twenty days. It deveoped a fault where as it just cuts out for about two seconds and then it carries on as though nothing has happened, it will not do it stationary but only at speeds say over 25mph.
The dealer has called today to say that they really don't know what the cause is but they do know it has the problem as it has done it with them.
So far they have fitted a new Turbo, Crank Shaft Sensor along with redoing the software, they are currently fitting a complete Engine Harness. This is all on the advice of LR who it seems do know of the problem but do not know the cause.
They have told me that they are not convinced that this will solve the problem as they have had this on another one last Autumn which they thought they had solved but this week it has returned.

My question after all this is, has anyone else had this as it seems I am not alone in this. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

I had a problem where all the ignition lights came on starting up, but it wouldn't crank. It didn't always do this. Anyway, it turned out to be a faulty starter button. I presume it could effect it in motion, but it didn't happen to me.

I sympathsise with you, it took LR 10 days of the car in the garage to get to the bottom of this problem.

CG, you been watching too much Star Trek, Wrath of Khan, if I am not mistaken.

ad210358 - Let’s hope you get your Stornoway fixed soon Lets also hope that he who drives black with the funny wheels gets some of his own medicine soon and then may appreciate how it feels to be broke(en down)  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Is it just power as in foward movement or power as in everything electric goes out Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Just logged on so sorry to 'ad' for not being part of the team, although by the responses back to Mr sympathetic your doing a perfectly good job without me.
What a b*mm*r we all feel for you during these difficult times (maybe that sounds like the car is dead )...But it isn't......and do you know why it's not dead people, because it STORNOWAY GREY WITH PROPER HSE ALLOYS. Your dealership will build it better than it was before, bigger, stronger and faster
