Anglo-Frenchman Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hi, I'm visiting my elderly parents in the UK from New Zealand and having just driven my dad's 2002 V6 Freelander on a short trip (10 miles) it wouldn't re-start. Engine not turning over, no clicking, nothing. After about 15 minutes it inexplicably re-started and I got back to their house. When I tried to re-start it, same again. Nothing. I've had a about 10 Land Rovers over the past 25 years but not familiar with the Freelander. Could anyone offer any advice on this or should I just get Hometune out? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_roberts Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Most likely the solenoid inside the starter motor. They can be repaired very cheaply with a kit from eBay. Sorry, but I've no idea how easy/difficult it is to remove on a V6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglo-Frenchman Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hi & thanks. Had to get the AA to take a look and they diagnosed a faulty ignition switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
