Battery struggling would be my first thought. The low voltages given with an iffy battery can send up all sorts of warning messages. |

If it keeps doing then worry, the HDC fault is not uncommon in the cold weather and will be ok in under a minute, as for the other faults they can all be associated with putting the fob in to quickly and pressing the start button and the ignition has not booted up correctly. If it keeps doing it then worry but a few of us have had the HDC problem and it was mentioned on here about three weeks ago but I am unable to find it at the moment. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |

Thanks for the replies. Thinking about it I only did 2 very short runs in the cold to fill up before the VAT went up, then it sat there for a day before being started in again at about -2C when I got the issue so maybe the battery was struggling or I did indeed push the button too quickly? Anyway, will keep an eye on it! |

I think that warning seems "normal" on cold days, but disapears after several seconds. If you get this message for a longer period or it does not turn off, then its time to plague your stealer 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

My garage is bloody cold also, I have a bucket with three inches of water in and it is now frozen solid. So I am not suprised that the oil in thr Haldex Unit has thickened up a bit. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior |

If the door is jammed open you'll need the window triple glazing |

I was going to post the same thing. 'HDC system fault check not available' or something like that. only did it twice, both times in sub zero temperatures... I turned the car off and back on and all was OK |
