True. I do the same but people keep giving you these strange looks if you don't start off immediately at the petrol station after filling up.
Also, I suppose, if you stall the engine and then wait a bit untill you restart you'll probably also get some nervous horns. But if you restart too quickly after a stall you might block everything. Read somewhere that due to so much electronics the FL2 should be handeled as a PC. Mind you who wrote this probably did not use a PC for off-road lately.

I didn't get the car take to the dealers as I didn't have time to wait around for the lowloader to arrive as I had to catch a flight later that night, so the car stayed in the shopping centre car park for five days. It's all fine now, started and stopped a number of times without any trouble.

Thinking back, I may have been a bit quick with the button press, but that doesn't explain why the keyfob decided to go stupid and not allow me to lock/unlock the car

I've not had any issues with mine since getting it two months ago, and as I am guessing yours is a 2007 model then maybe it requires a software update...... There were a number of issues fixed on early vehicles with software changes, so maybe it is worth checking with Al Tayer service.

Lucky you did not find a flat battery as unless closed by remote the FL2's electronics stay awake.
Maybe you just rushed the key in the slot and that got the FL2 unhappy but 5 days in the sun made her see reason. Thumbs Up FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

Chicken G...

I have been enjoying this site whilst deciding on the spec of my FL2 (Santorini with retro fit alpaca and privacy seems the way to go...)

I find Scouse jokes about stealing are incredibly offensive and not remotely funny.

This has put me off a fun and informative forum!

Not much to say really, except I'm a Yorkshire man and a farmer so get plenty of tight wad jokes made about me. Mrs G is a scouser and accepts 'scouser jokes' as a part of British humour.

Its just in jest... I would never write any serious comments critising any group of people. Enjoy the forum and try and see the jokes as what they are 'jokes'. At work
