Agreed, an electronic copy is very useful and I have a downloaded PDF copy on all my PC's, but when away from home off roading in the mountains I never have an electronic version to browse. So if the occasion should arise its good to have that old fashioned non environmentally friendly alternative at hand 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

When all else fails, read the book. Remember there are never problems, just new challenges |

I've had the same problem. It happened about twice but never seemed to cause any issues and went away after a few mins of driving.

Well, if I understand correctly what it says here, it shouldnt be possible to drive the car, or turn it around, or do anything. The engine certainly started. Well, anyway -had "my" check-up today. AND there will be a warranty repair. If you get this message, IT IS A DANGER-SIGN, and you must have your car served. As I am going to the mountains for my winter-vacation next week, I asked the mechanic if the car was safe to drive. He hesitated, but said he felt quite certain it would be OK. -And if not, I should call Land Rover Road Assistance, and they would take the car piggyback. Reassuring! Meanwhile they will order the needed parts (new steering column, I believe), so in the beginning of March I can drive safely again. Hopefully. Huang, if you have had the same message, you MUST have your car looked at. 2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack. |

Exactly the same thing happened on my friend's BMW a couple of months back and, yes, a new steering column was required. In my view, it is another example of how manufacturers have over-complicated modern cars with unecessary gadgets (TPWS, electronic handbrakes etc etc ) to keep you dependent on them - no problem when the car is in warrantee but a TOTAL and expensive nightmare afterwards !! Maybe i'm just getting old !! |

There is a Technical Bulletin that covers this situation. LTB00290 Subject/Concern: Steering Column Locked Message Appears VIN-range: H113897 Onwards Summary: The Central Junction Box (CJB) periodically checks the status of steering column lock by polling the instrument cluster. On occasions, the instrument cluster does not respond appropriately and this may lead to the erroneous message Steering Column Locked being displayed even though the steering column is unlocked and functioning normally. Cause: Software within the Instrument Pack |

Well this has started to show on our freelander and its due for a service this week so will tell dealer about this and the LTB number cheers Another thing tho, SWMBO says that nearly every time she starts it says HDC Not available, Can't remember what it says exactly but you will know what I mean, but I know it can because of low battery voltage but we had a new battery fitted last year (and it still showed) and it does it now when weather is warm. Any pointers? |
