My Cheap Car Auction Land Rover - 4 Years Later
Years ago I purchased a cheap Land Rover Freelander 2 from a car auction. It had a couple of issues but I've been daily-driving it ever since. This car has unfortunately picked up a couple more faults in recent months, so today I wanted to talk about how it's holding up.

I recently bought the cheapest Mercedes C200 I could find. It's rusty, it's dirty, and it's probably done the hardest 100,000 miles of it's life. So here's a brief review of my short ownership so far. Thanks for watching :)

    hard start issue sounds like a fuel pump problem. As for the terrain response etc.. a failing ABS sensor can be a culprit. Scanning the car should tell you.

    Put yourself together and fix your car (yourself). Try borrowing or get a NEW quality battery, and most electrical faults will go away. Delete any codes and do a proper service on Haldex, front ptu, rear diff, gearbox and engine. It'll cost you some oil, a couple of filters and a few o-rings and a few crushable metal washers. And a days fun under the car. Absolutely nothing difficult. These are actually good cars, but you cannot run them forever without any service. They are not Toyota's but on the other hand, they drive better than Toyota's. And maybe please clean it so 1.000.000 dog hairs won't sneak into the buttons. For example if you detect a faulty GPS signal, take carefully off the special cables and clean them, reconnect and if they don't work, reset the GPS DVD box under the seat. If not good, then go to service mode and look at reception. If bad, the GPS antenna is dead. A second hand one at fleabay will cost you very little money and is really easy to swap. Likewise most other systems. It's not Land Rover quality, it bad Ford quality. Go to Freel2.com (forum for Freelander 2) and familiarize yourself with the car better. It's really not that hard to work on the car. Good luck. Btw. I have the same. No faults. 245.000 kilometers and no worries. I do all service myself (at the street). Cheers.

    Some may say that the Freelander2 is one of the most reliable Land Rovers ever made.

    Everything u say about owning an SUV is so true! My family car is a dark green 1993 Nissan Safari/Patrol with a manual and . Through the years it has acquired some cosmetic damage and wear but man it's very comfortable very pleasant to drive on... Shifts and steers nicely, suspension's got some nice damping as well. Even on rough terrain and high-incline slopes it plows through like no other. Can also hit up to 100+kph on the highways as well. Quite a beast of a car and I'd love to own one for myself someday

    I know what’s wrong with your car not staying on until the second try…your auto start-stop system isn’t working right. The icon is lit up on your dash when you start it. It’s supposed to automatically turn your engine on and off in traffic to save gas Push that button down by that switch you were turning, it is that button that says “Auto/ Man”. Switch it to “Man”. That’s the auto start-stop. All this could be related to your electrical gremlins

    Same age as my dad's Freelander 2, you'll want to check for corrosion on the rear subframe and the front of the rear arches (open the back doors and pull back the plastic/rubber part), apparently both are quite common on these cars.

    An HDC fault and the possible wiring/electrical issues your having seems like it could be a bad battery, which is something that should be swapped first as theyre pretty cheap

    So glad to see you back into some random car shenanigans! I used to love electrical diagnostic when I worked for dealerships I even had my ASE cert, seriously I would check your grounds, or earth I think Brits call it, clean up and re tighten all the major grounds like the batt and PCM (or main computer) ground! Good luck dude ✌️💯

    Have you tried resetting the bios? The previous owner might have done some overclocking that it doesn't like. And what kind of fps are you getting in Cyberpunk? /jk Can't wait for more videos on this channel! :)

    @luukspitse7482 6 місяців тому

    Have you tried replacing the battery? It sounds too simple to solve any issues, but a worn out battery can really cause quite a few issues. The fuel gauge, engine temp gauge and my rpm gauge would sometimes be totally off until I replaced the battery when my car had starting issues.

    I wonder if in the UK, overall people are as knowledgeable with British cars as French with French cars. If you had yknow a Peugeot 207 with a weird electrical issue as a french youtuber you would get about 30 people saying "oh yeah its that module thats failed, its impossible to find working and its 1k€+ when you find it so good luck with that" (definitely not a real thing hahaha x07 peugeot so reliable hahaha PAIN) so idk if theres a land rover wizard out here "oh yeah btw that's this module thats fried but hopefully thats just a fuse thats effed up so you could repair it" because thats what your symptoms look like to me, one or several failed control module. Btw i'm talking about peugoet because i believe your engine is from PSA. I recall Rovers from that era used various PSA diesels. Welcome back tho, i effin love videos like the one you make here. Your semi vlog-style is as amazing as ever. Cheers from the other side of the channel.

    Been waiting for this video. Watched your old one again LAST NIGHT! Is that starter problem a battery fault? My battery was knackered and threw up every fault you showed. Also the earlier ones had an earth issue? I believe it was a recall. I'll add a second comment with a link in case you have links banned, i'd rather you saw it
