Freelander 2 starting problems
When I press the starter button the engine sometimes fails to turn over as if the battery is low. It may take 2 or 3 attempts till the engine turns over and starts normally as if the battery is okay.

Starter motor/flywheel engagement problem. Might be the DMF starting to fail.

I have a 2012 BMW 520d. The battery is the original and would not start the car after not being used for two weeks. It's fine when I use the car regularly. Is this a job I can do myself, or does the battery...

Bigger than original Freelander. 2.2-litre belt cam diesel. Incredibly good off-road. Robust interior. More fuel efficient 2WD model from 2011 with no rear diff to fail.
