UPDATE; warning back on so rang dealer and although they said they will look at it and said they knew about a problem I might have to take it back to the dealer I bought from to have a new battery fitted? is this correct? cos god help me if I have to go back to that clown.

2. driver seat going down. there is a nut that they will tighten under seat.
3. water ingress to boot. yes, we know about this fault so will sort it.

bloody new car and am going off it already. will give update next week.

Unbelievable Update.!!!

this is what happened ONE WEEK on from above.

Took landy in after yet another jump start for appointment, service desk said right we'll look at it !!!

3 hrs later, phone call, ' hello, your car is ready'

back to dealer who says ' I have some good news and some bad news' GOOD news ' we have changed the hi- level brake light' BAD news ' we need to order a battery in and also parts for driver seat'
Me ' so let me get this right, you knew about these faults ONE WEEK ago but have not got a new battery in ready?
Dealer, 'no'
Me ' so you are sending me back home ( out in the sticks ) with a battery that is and a drivers seat that drops even though you have had a weeks notice ?
Dealer ' would you like a drink'
Me,' no thank you' but since we surrounded by new cars can you not take a battery off one of them until you get a battery in'
Dealer ' that's a good idea'
40 mins later and I'm heading home to return in ONE WEEK for a drivers seat part.

UNBIEVABLE ?? but sadly true.

Been there, got the t-shirt......... Etc

In my experience - 1st trip to look at problem, 2nd trip check problem in depth and order parts, 3rd trip fit parts, 4th trip to look at problem caused by work done and sometimes 5th to sort that - 70 mile round trip each time

I dread services and repairs

Hope it all works out  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

I had exactly the same problem with my manual seat, they asked me how heavy I was and at 18stone (I am 6Foot) they implied I was too heavy!

In the end, after complaints to LR customer service they fitted an electric rise/lower seat base to fix the rubbish seat mechanism.

I have to say though, that is the only issue I have had in 5 years, but good luck  MY2014 SD4 XS

Thanks guys. @ 5'3" and 10 stone soaking wet I hope they don't try that on me lol.

extra update.... got in car and low battery warning light back on FFS



called out land rover assist Saturday morning as warning message reappeared, they sent the AA and he has found some fault codes, I have been through the search and also the kindly posted fault code lists but cannot find P163100 any help. he said then he had cleared P163100 and P1259, but would you believe it got in landy Sunday morning and message is back.

any help would be great apart from saying I need to stay calm when I go back to the dealer as its gone way past incompetence

well now after yet another AA call out and car back again to dealer it has taken them ONE week to look at it and then a day to tell me its an INTERMITTANT fault now , so that's changed again.

7 months of wish there was an option send bloody thing back for a refund.  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

well well well, made a phone call yesterday as not hearing any updates and get a response from service desk ' we think we have found a fault, its saying' start engine or system will shut down in 3 minutes' !!!
ah hello this is the very first thing reported to them by me on 4th july.
got to say customer relations involved and really don't see much point in them other than a calm voice.

disappointed again  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Got the same problem, message has appeared four times over the last ten days, latest on Saturday after a 200km non stop daytime drive across France, waiting for the ferry with radio on for less than a minute and it appeared, spent the ferry crossing worrying if it would start as I was parked and chocked on the turn round ramp on Normandy Express fast craft. Booked in for Thursday. MY14 TD4 manual XS Orkney grey.

well mate it seems after all the lies and crap I had to put up with it was finally found to be a faulty electrical unit in the passengers door, hope this helps. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

I appreciate this thread is few months old but I'm having the same problem; dealer "fixed" the warning light issue today, charging battery and replacing key battery only for my wife to start the car this evening and have the 3 minute warning message come on upon starting the car.

Does anybody know if Jules 61's last post relating to a faulty electrical circuit was the reason his warning light came on (ie it was actually this that was slowly draining the battery) or if this was actually somehow connected to his driver's seat problem?

This issue began for us after only a week of ownership, not impressed!!! Last freelander 2 (57 plate) had no such issues.

First post on this forum so apologies in advance if I've neglected any protocols.

Hi Kenny Fives and everyone else, No the fault has nothing to do with drivers seat as mine WAS manual , got rid of freelander after soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much hassle and customer service being a joke and rude.

Someone will help you out.

Anyway reason I'm back is.... missing freelander as everything I've driven since has been uncomfortable so any ideas on what would be good mileage on a 14 plate please. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.
