Had to do both resets shown on the video on my 2012 freelander 2 model . And it cleared both the oil service notification to go to a local dealer. And the next oil service due .. Thankyou you very much ... The dealer where I had the oil service done couldn't reset this for me .. the wonders of you tube videos like this is second to none..
Facelift 2010 model. I timed with a stopwatch and you are exactly right, the message on the righthand display disappeared on the 60th second! Perfect, thanks very much.
A big thank-you to you, Beavis. This worked on a Halewood built, MY11 Freelander 2 Diesel 2.2 SD4. I used the first method to reset my dist/date/end ... but that didn't get rid of the visit dealer message. The bonnet unlatched with brake / accelerator pedal depressed worked (it took about 30-40 seconds). First try. I'd still like to purchase a diagnostics tool to clear some faults, but with so many to choose from I'd have to do some serious research as they're not cheap. Thanks mate. Great video.
Thank you so much for this video.I have a 2012 GS and have now reset the annual service indicator and the oil service message exactly in accordance with your instructions and it worked first time.The oil message disappeared exactly after 1 minute ! Thanks again.
Hey thanks very much, gotta 2010 face lift model, tried 2 different ways of doing the reset until I saw this video, it worked 1st time doing the brake accelerator pedal method with the doors and bonnet way. Cheers Neil
Thank you very much for the video. Just reset a 2012 with the bonnet open and pedals pressed. It worked at the first attempt, after 1 minute the warning was reset.👍
Thanks again, its a year already since I did this last but had to confirm with your brilliant video, and my light bar brackets are still doing their job, kind regards Derek from Norfolk 😊
Thank you for your video on RUclips for the reset sequence for oil service warning notice . I have an land rover freelander 2 2011 ed4 thank you alot it worked first time Very good advice it works people.
Thank you so much for your upload 👍 used a comprehensive snap-on diagnostics and the manual reset without any luck on our 2011. Your foot pedal advice was spot on and I'm now back in the missus good books for a while, well when I've sorted the heater blower out 😅
We have a 2012 freelander 2 and it let's me reset the service light two times the old way then I thought I would have to plug it in as the car would not let me reset it like that for the third time but the pedal reset worked. Thank you for the information.
Thanks for this iv been driving mine for couple months after having an oil service done by my mate i was using the older method , it’s now cleared using the open bonnet option perfect 👌🏻
ive just realised something. i thought you just had to press the button and let go and the dash would light up. but nooooo, typical ford have to make it difficult! i thought it just wasnt working, and why not, i only paid £3,400 for her. and the reason im even posting is that my car is diesel so the glow plugs need to heat up in the winter before you start it and they dont if you just put your foot on the clutch and press the button. so again, thank you for showing me the correct way to do things.
интервал замены масла сбросил с 6 или 7 попытки. ставить и убирать охрану не нужно. дверь водителя (левая) и капот открыты постоянно. работает 1 метод- для автомобиля 2009 года. моя машина 2011 года выпуска. Oil change interval reset on 6th or 7th attempt. No need to set or remove security. Driver's door (left) and hood are open all the time. 1 method works - for a 2009 car. My car is 2011.
How come your airbag casing hasn't lifted? I've been wondering whether to try warming mine with a mild heat gun to attempt to reshape it. p.s. Beavis >12 minutes to complete a 20 second procedure, I think this may be your best ASMR video yet. @_'-'
The airbag cover on the steering wheel can lift due to hot sun. I live in UK so always raining! Apologies for another excessively long video. That is my style though...1 minute to show the fix, and another 11 minutes of me rambling on! 😂😂😂
Is there here a different technic for North American Land Rover LR2? I’m in Canada so the hood latch is on the drivers side. Not sure what door to open and close first. Great video I’m hoping it will work for my 2012 just not sure on the sequence?
@alexpuiu3018 many left hand drive owners have used this method successfully. Did you try it with the doors the other way around? What year is your car?
Hi guys as a Toyota RAV 4 owner for the last 7 years. I exchanged it for a 2013 Freelander with 48000 miles on the clock. It is minted not a scratch inside or out with one previous lady owner, I paid a lot for it £15'000 from Landrover dealer its never seen a muddy field. I think the Freelander is far too light on the steering do any of yous guys find this. She drives as straight as a dye and tyre pressures are OK. But it's so dam light on the steering in my opinion.
Yes, I found the same after the previous Freelander 1, this later model is very light on the steering, fine when you adapt to it and don't even notice... Which I'm sure you will have after this time!
Just done manual reset time succsesful but could not do distance. Maybe because I tried with snap on solus which said it had reset it but display still showed service required.
Hello, I have a Freelander 2, MY 2012, LHD. With the first method I get the message: "cannot reset". Unfortunately, the second method doesn't work for me. I tried to convert the second method for the LHD car, since my driver's door is on the left side, I also tried the original method for RHD 1:1, both 4x for about 2min each. My service indicator of ~3800 days remains on the display. Is there a solution for my LHD car? greetings from Germany
2012 is facelift so the 2nd method is the one to use. Strange that it doesn’t work. Maybe your dealer did something to the software so you have to take it to them for servicing?
Hi, thanks for the fast reply. With our only dealer at 100km it's such a thing...He says he doesn't know if he can...bring your car to us for 8 hours, we only charge ~150€ an hour. We say cutthroat here in German. The same with my display, it's in Italian because it's reimported. He doesn't know if he can. Okay, it stays Italian and I'm learning some words now ;) Lastly... Awesome car@@BeavisPits 💪😁👍
Hi just checking if you can help me I’ve bought a Freelander 2 2.2 td4 .e 2009 from Italy how do I change the language? To english. On the dash screen cheers Sid.
I think this can only be set by the dealer using their special equipment. If you join one of the Facebook groups and ask on there, I’m sure somebody would know the answer for sure.
Please , My battery light illuminated and remain all the way after start. Engine running is ok. Battery is okey for 2 years . My car Freelander2 2012 model Si4 , How can I solve this problem. Thanks...

Spot on. Ours is a 2010 face lift, so your second option. Brilliantly explained. Worked first time.

So glad I watched this.. very clear instructions which helped my 2011 model on first attempt. Thank you ☺️
Sir, you just saved my day. I was trying everything with the rectangular button the whole time.
Just watched this, I have a 2011 Freelander, it worked perfectly, many thanks for the video, very concise and easy to follow.

The bonnet and pedal trick works fine on my 2012.
Thanks for uploading, great channel👍
Left or right hand drive?
@@BeavisPits left hand drive, Netherlands, had to leave the right hand door open.
Excellent! Thanks!

Lots of accolades in the comments and deservedly so! Folks like yourself make working on the car a pleasure. It's knowing where to tap😂 that matters
Thanks for this iv been driving mine for couple months after having an oil service done by my mate i was using the older method , it’s now cleared using the open bonnet option perfect 👌🏻
Tom, thanks for the feedback, glad to hear it worked ok
0 p9,,
Cheers, just got the reset on my 2011 auto done. The bonnet release and foot pedals 60 trick did it.
Worked first time thanks on my 2010 face-lift.
Thank you worked for my Freelander 2 at very first attempt.
Worked first time on my 2010 model. And I forgot to leave the door open for the first 15 seconds or so. Many thanks
2010 Facelift, worked fine on 2nd attempt. As advised in the video you may need to repeat the process if it doesn't succeed first time.
Thanks for the info, worked great after i serviced the car and reset the service warning -cheers
Brilliant worked first time on my Freelander 2 many thanks.
Thanks. Worked first time. 2012 FL2.
Worked like a charm first time. Thanks FL2 Jedi master 👍👍👍

This worked a treat on my 2012 model - at 60 secs exactly the oil service messages just dissapeared
Wow thank you.. had my fl2 with 12 plate 3 weeks ago, saw this sign and started to panic
Thank u for ur valuable suggestion it worked on my freelander 2011 model
Hi I had to do this today on my 2011 lander. Worked first thank you for your videos dude 👍
Yesssssssss it bloody worked.. Fab, many thanks. 👍👍👍👍👍😁
worked for my 2012 FL2. Thanks a lot
Fantastic, thanks mate, really appreciate your support.
Worked a dream on third attempt. Many thanks!
Thank you for the video it worked first time thank you again
Worked on second attempt on my 2011 👏 thanks 👌
Very clearly explained on the two models.
Thank you. Worked on my 2011 first time!
Thank you second option worked first time
Just a point, on the later facelift models there is no dock for the key (i.e. you do not insert the key) it just needs to be in the car somewhere.
Yes, you are correct, later models don’t need the key inserting
ive just realised something. i thought you just had to press the button and let go and the dash would light up. but nooooo, typical ford have to make it difficult! i thought it just wasnt working, and why not, i only paid £3,400 for her. and the reason im even posting is that my car is diesel so the glow plugs need to heat up in the winter before you start it and they dont if you just put your foot on the clutch and press the button. so again, thank you for showing me the correct way to do things.
Check out my “Cold starting trick” video
Absolutely bob-on information. Superb thank you.
Worked perfectly, thanks for your help
For me worked perfectly on my Freelander 2 2013
Mine is a face lifted one 2010 it took around 45 seconds of holding down the brake pedal and throttle together for the light to reset

Works perfectly for oil service
Hi yes mine is face lift 2010 and it worked on 3rd time .
On my FL2 SD4 SE 2011 worked first, thank you!
Great! Left hand drive?
Is there here a different technic for North American Land Rover LR2? I’m in Canada so the hood latch is on the drivers side. Not sure what door to open and close first. Great video I’m hoping it will work for my 2012 just not sure on the sequence?
Just follow it but swap drivers and passenger sides, should work
Will try this.
150k - Do you recommend an engine flush or special oil?
Just the correct oil for your engine. Usually 5W30 but check. See my fluids video.
Thanks! It works! 2012 y. Freelander 2
Thnx....worked 1 st attempt...😁
Worked a treat, many thanks.
Thanks for everything you do
Thank you Christopher!
Worked a treat on my 2012. Awesome
Thank you，mine is 2010 and it worked on 1st time.
Great video! Could you assist on locating the tmps light on a 2011 LR2?
Thanks, can you explain what you mean by tmps light?
@@BeavisPits Sure, the tire-pressure monitoring system.
@@BeavisPits I keep reading it’s a button under the steering wheel? I’m not locating it. I want to reset the message about low tire pressure.
Later Freelander 2s may have this feature but I’ve not got it on my 2009. I’ve fitted an after-market TPMS.
@@BeavisPits I see. Do you know how to reset the tmps message?
Worked first time many thanks
Thanks a lot from Poland
Thx so much man. Work very well here!
Mine is 2012 model,2.2 TDS SE Diesel ,it is working.
Oil service alarm cleared
Excellent, thank you. Top Man!
Thank you i did it with my lr2 2007 great 👍
Hi oil service light removed on my 2010 freelander 2 but the -13 days stayed on any help on getting days off please
You need to reset the days too, it is a two stage reset, first reset dist then reset date
@BeavisPits thanks done it and all clear now.
Worked like magic!
How to do the second method if the car has the steering wheel on the left side?
From what I’ve heard, this is exactly the same. You don’t need to swap the doors over as such. Please try it and let me know how you get on.
@@BeavisPits I've tried it many times. It doesn't work.
@alexpuiu3018 many left hand drive owners have used this method successfully. Did you try it with the doors the other way around? What year is your car?

Hi,
My freelander 2014 and doesn’t work by the above procedures.
Please show me how can I reset mine. Thanks
Did you follow the 2nd half of the video? Works for everyone else.
Would this also work on an automatic? How would one go about with the peddles?
Exactly the same process on an auto
@@BeavisPits Thanks. Kind Regards. Dirk.
Just done manual reset time succsesful but could not do distance. Maybe because I tried with snap on solus which said it had reset it but display still showed service required.
It worked for my automatic LR2 2008 but only when I pressed start and reset button together. ☺☺☺☺☺☺👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Does the second option (facelift) work with an automatic?
Yes, it should do

Please , My battery light illuminated and remain all the way after start. Engine running is ok. Battery is okey for 2 years . My car Freelander2 2012 model Si4 , How can I solve this problem. Thanks...
Alternator fault. Either the alternator is not charging the battery, or the sense wire has become disconnected.
@@BeavisPits Thanks for info. Most probably, Sense wire problem. I will check...
Great, thanks!
How can I change the language on a dashboard??
I’m not sure. It must be possible, but may need a dealer the reprogram the instrument cluster.
