Searching through past posts with such a vague search line as "won't start" this morning I was pretty down - envisioning towing car to town, and a huge $ bill at a very long process of troubleshooting and replacing several components that would turn out not to be the culprit. Had read about clusters failing and having to be replaced and reprogrammed, start buttons being replaced, key fobs going belly up, steering lock modules.... ugh. This is going to be painful.

Mine quite regularly needs the key removed and put back in before it will work, don’t know why. It’s the same with either of the key fobs, but it always works second time, so I put it down to just one of these FL2 foibles. 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

Yeah, some odd little quirks that's for sure.

Could it be an earth issue? I know they can cause very strange and what seem to be irrelevant issues 2018 - 2007 '56 manual HSE Freelander 2 |

I don’t think I have earth problems - it has the stop/start function, so came from the factory with the extra earth connection (although that doesn’t rule out a specific earth issue at the fob-insert). I wasn’t raising my issue as a problem, just one of these inexplicable quirks of the car. (Of course, having said that i’ll go out and find it totally dead this morning! ) 2005 D3 2.7 Auto
