Hi
Just found your site. Post on other LR forums so hope you lot are as freindly as all the others.

Bought my FL2 in October after having a previous model HSE. Had little in the way of problems with the old model but the new Freelander has been a nightmare.

I cover 20k+ miles a year however in three months and 5k miles of ownership my car has been with three times. The last recovery being on Thursday. The issues seems related to electronics at first the engine would cut out on full throttle, this was diagnosed as a fuel return valve and replaced. The last time the engine just died. This usually happens in traffic and on acceleration and my fear is it will happen with my wife or when towing our caravan. Spoke today to someone who experienced similar problems has anyone else encountered something similar?

If you do a search on 'cutting' there is a little bit of information for you.

It is the post marked 'engine cutting out'.

Thanks for that it seems I am not alone however mine appears more prolific as it keeps occuring. First instance 3000miles then to dealer, second 3100miles Landrover assist reset software, third instance 4000miles then to dealer last occurence 5000miles HMMM.
I have been an LR driver for 12 years I know we have problems but I am not spending over £30K on a car that could kill me as stated in some of the other posts.

Sounds obvious to me that reseting or updating the software is not fixing the problem. I would enquire at the dealer for a buy-back option and have the vehicle replaced. ______________________

start documenting everything, date & times, mileage, what is said by the dealer and the exact fix they did, (ask them exactly what software update they did, instead of been a "general update")

Give them a last try to get this problem corrected and tell them that if it happens again you will want the car replacing.

But the main thing is document "EVERYTHING" and follow up with letters, paper trail leading back to faults will help.

Hope its fix though Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

welcome to the club of struggling LR2 owner, see my posting on LR2 reliability.

The biggest problem is that Land Rover does not seem to have a clue as to what is causing the problems; but somewhere there must be a major software problem.

Landrover finally the misfiring sorted at 5000 miles

At 6000 miles they fixed my integrated telephone

and at 7000 miles they fixed the electric seats which cocked up after MRS CSK who it 5ft 4 went to church and could not reset the seats for me at 6ft 2. I could only just get in and Landrover Assist asked me to wait until the next morning so they could send out a technicial. I think not!

Well we are nearly at 8000 miles so what can possibly go wrong next?
