Left my little Landie for 5 weeks as I was away on the boat. Came back expecting a flat pancake battery. No surprise that both key fobs were dead - hate the damnnn things - why can't they just give it a proper key!

I switched off my bluetooth but the flat battery problem persists -- twice within an interval of two days. I charged the battery for 4 hours a week ago and so far -- touch wood -- all is well. But on past performance the battery will gradually exhaust itself down to 11.7 volts and then refuse to start the engine. I am now going to give up with the Freelander and go back to a Lexus. |

I have sorted my battery problem by dumping the Freelander radio and putting in a different one, this seems to have ended my electrical problems - Deckchair |

It's a common problem with aftermarket radios, particularly the sort that stay on to gather traffic information when ignition switched off. Not heard of it happening with an OEM radio before, but the FR2 radio is a bit weird - comes on instantly as though it's been on all the time.

Looks like a good idea may be to disconnect the radio and sing to yourself, helping to tackle the problem. Will start today with Les Miserables, or Queen |

My wife went to start our 58, FL2 2.2 td4 this morning, wouldn't turn over. An transmission fault traction reduced light came on across the dash screen, along with an HDC fault or something like that.
