Replying to: laff2 (Nov 13, 2008 4:31 pm) Thanks for your response. I've hear a lot about the solonoid. it's just so strange that it changes from Drive to F-4 flashing and the other 2 lights come on. It gets slow so i have to stop, turn it off and when I turn it back on it goes away. I'm just concern it will break down in the middle of the highway. But, when yours did this, did you feel and hear a noise, like someone hit the car? It even feels like the if someone hit the break fast.

Replying to: laff2 (Nov 13, 2008 4:31 pm) We have a Freelander TD4 S 2005 which runs perfectly happily, however the HDC and Auto Transmission lights come on and F4 flashes on the dash. We have had it to Landrover and they seem to have drawn a blank and put it down to driver error. This seems slightly ludicrous, has anyone any suggestions (polite ones please!). Many thanks.   Replies to this message: kbomba (Jan 29, 2009 8:59 am)

Replying to: JulieDRM (Jan 27, 2009 6:17 am) I almost did not reply because you asked for polite suggestions. However; I can't just sit here knowing what I know about this vehicle. While I do hope that you are one of the very few who actually have a good working Freelander, for the life of the vehicle, I will tell you that mine drove great the entire time I had it and then one day out of the blue it just died and was never to come alive again. Landrover gave me the same run around as to how clueless they where and there was nothing they were willing to do to help me. They even went as far as to say that I may be the reason it died. All I am saying is be very carfeful with your decisions to keep this vehicle. And be wise as to how much money you put into repairs because it may just be wasted money when you suffer the fate of the rest of us! If in fact you do suffer the same fate (I will cross my fingers that you do not) just know that lawyers are able to get you a settlement from Land Rover because they are very aware of this aweful motor company that is no longer in business. Best of luck!

I have a 2002 Freelander and am having many of the same problems that have been noted. Many thanks for the postings thus far.   Coolant tank and thermometer went at ~55k miles - cost ~$1,000 to fix FM radio cuts out after ~1 hour of use Both back window regulators completely broke Now transmission is slipping and sometimes totally failing up hills and/or at higher speeds (50 mph) at ~70k miles.   I guess I'll try to get it fixed at a shop. Never buying a Land Rover again.

Replying to: tiredoflr (Feb 16, 2007 1:41 pm) How is the law suit going? do you have a case. There is so many problems wrong with this car it is so frustrating because the dealer ships knows there is a problem and they keep ignoring it. (why not we keep going back to letting them fix it.)

#126 of 154 Freeland "03 bad everything by deb42 Apr 06, 2009 (7:13 am)
I have a Freelander "03 and in the last three years I have owed this car I have had the following (it started with the coolant leaking )repairs... it doesn't seem to stop. I know I need to get rid of it - but I don't want to let anyone else buy this car who doesn't understand the problems - it is not fair - that's what the dealership did to us. Everyone falls in love with this car until they own it, and then disaster strikes and it is too late. I can't believe there is nothing that can be done   fuel cleaning (not exacting why but it cost me) throttle gear box & convertor, transmission , regulator cylinder heads replaced, serp belts replaced in 5/2007 and again in 3/09 ignition coils, recall replaced engine changed over ancillory equipment & refitted, fuel pump? sunroof - engine and cables replaced twice throttle housing replaced again latches on doors wouldn't work and it goes on.   Now I am smelling an odd smell again -( as my daughter said it smells like cat urine? ) it is the best way I can discribe it . The engine is hesitating and is sluggish... has anyone had this experience? the dealership is looking at me like I have two heads? Told the dealership about the smell in the car in March and they took the whole care apart and replaced the thermostat again and one week later it still smells..

Replying to: deb42 (Apr 06, 2009 6:52 am) My lawyer has already settled with Land Rover. While I do not feel they gave me anywhere near the worth of my vehicle or troubles I am just happy that they gave me something. I recieved a check for $2545.00 and that was after the lawyer fees. I also got ot keep the vehicle to maybe send it to auction. The lawyer I used lives in NJ and I live in NH but he made it pretty painless on my part. I got his name from a posting off Edmonds. Will be happy to share it with anyone interested. Replies to this message: brasillis (May 14, 2009 9:01 pm) kwelsh (Jun 19, 2009 8:19 am)
