Hi everyone. I have been the owner of a new XS SD4 automatic for about three weeks after owning a GS manual for 2 1/2 years.

Check out posts from xtattsbox, he has had vibration problems on an auto box, LR and dealer fairly useless in remedying it for him though. |

Everytime I take mine into any dealer I am allways told there is nothing wrong despite the fact that one guy from LR called an issue I have "A Characteristic" Would have thought in 2010 there must be a software update or similar to fix it, & there is that phone system (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red. (Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red. (Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding. (Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather. |

Take it back to the dealer and reject the car out of hand. The will tell you that it is operating within parameters and not fix it. The problem is with the gearbox. To replace it involves taking the front of the car off and the cost is approx 10k. LR will not do it.

okay, this is normal. mine does it to. put it into reverse, beep beep beep it goes. slap it into drive and move on for a bit and the parking light senser will go off after a minute or so. i recon its normal for the parking sensors to go on when engaged in reverse gear. the FL2 does have a wide range when sensing things around it, its a hate or love sort of thing. |

Completly normal - when reversing, once the parking sensors are on they stay on until you reach a certain speed or if you put it in park (on an auto) Freelander 2 TD4 Auto, SE, Narvik Black, Alpaca full leather, Rear Headrest Entertainment System, 6 CD, 18 HSE Wheels, Privicy tints |

Not normal if there's nothing behind you Only the initial beep to tell you they are active. |

Common fault with the FL2 - whenever its wet or frosty they start beeping constantly even if there is nothing behind you! Would have thought LR would have found a cure by now though - especially for the MY11. |

Disagree. Last winter from November through to April we experienced temperatures down to -27°C and also very frosty mornings. Her Ladyship's FL2 MY2010 never had a reversing parking sensor alarm fault. Functioned as it should - always. |

xtattsbox Are you referring here to the vibration issue as the one relating to the gearbox or to the reverse alarm comment in this thread If vibration, then can you please elaborate on how you "know" it is the gear box as her Ladyship's manual FL2 MY2010 presently vibrates through the accelerator pedal: minimal when stationary on tick over - then it is very apparent when driving at speeds above 80kph (140kph and it is very irritating on a long drive) and at these speeds it also transmits through the steering wheel and drivers seat. Checks have been done on the prop shaft balancers (OK) and for hard spot on the tyres (all ok) and for wheel balancing and tracking (all okay). So I would be very interested in further information on this subject. Thanks. |

Agree with athelstan that I disagree Never had any real problems here either in months of many minus temperatures, although very occasionally the reversing sensors get “stuck on” particularly if the wife has reversed into a pile of snow or it has been down with rain. This is not a LR fault, just a fact of life with this amazing help aid to better reversing. I would rather be with them than without and 99% of the time they function perfectly. You also have the possibility to use the ARB on the dashboard (agro reduction button) and revert to MVRM (manual vision reverse mode) 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof. Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc. |
