I've had my 2002 freelander for about 3 weeks now, and the check engine light keeps coming on. I've taken it back to the dealer and they checked it out and said that nothing is wrong and it's just a flaw in the wiring/computer system. They said that they have seen it quite often and that there isn't much you can do except just bringing it back and getting it checked and then reset again. Have any of you had this same problem? If so, what did you do to fix it? Could this be a sign of a bigger problem?

Thanks, Matt

 

to fix it, remove the light bulb.

i have a 2k5 freelander, no problems with that, what motor does yours have? are u in the US?

 

are they scanning it with a generic scanner or using testbook? is it a LR dealer?

 

one thing about rovers is THEY ALWAYS HAVE CODEs but take it to a reputable dealer they will be able to solve the prob.. what are the codes?

 

Sounds like you have a Tuesday-After-the-Long-Weekend-Rover.

I have a Freelander 2002 and I've had nothing but problems with it. Landrover has actually discontinued the model. You can check on their website...it doesn't even list it as a model any more. I've had my rover in the shop 12 times and 11 of those times was for replacement of defective parts!! Not a good percentage.

They advertise that this vehicle is the most travelled vehicle on earth and yet I can't get it out of the driveway!!! They talk about adventerous, quality, and supermacy but I have not seen any of these qualities. Save your money and buy something else.
