Hi all I have 2008 freelander 2 auto 33,000 miles just recently I go to press the start button and all we get is a click if you put the car from park to drive then back up to park it will start I have charged the battery and still happens the odd time it sounds like it's struggling to start and then try it again and will start ok thanks for any advice

Maybe starter motor. I had issues with similar things. Sometimes wouldn’t start, so I’d roll Bar (auto) down drive and it would be fine.

In the end, I changed the starter motor. Did it myself following instructions on this forum and was much easier than I though it would be.

The result. No more issues.

I’d tried other things beforehand like battery, throttle, etc..

You can refurb solenoid in motor, but I didn’t think it was worth the effort. '09 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto
