United States 2008 LR2 i6 HSE Auto Barolo Black
Steering Column Locked- Wont start

My 2008 LR2 started telling me that "steering column locked" when I try to start it. It won't start, what I have to do is disconnect the battery for a second and then it will start. I have tried a new battery to no avail. Sounds like it could be lots of things according to the dealer. Anyone have any suggestions? I know other people have had this issue. What did you do to fisx it?

You may simply need a new ignition key slot unit. They have been known to fail on the odd occasion. My cousin bout an 07 160000 mile FL2 and his did the same.

The dealer swapped out the key slot assembly and the problem went away! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........
