The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Fitment is what this manual is built around: it is tied to the 2005 Land Rover Freelander, to the 2.5L V6 it was sold with and to the trims offered that year, so the figures in it are the ones Land Rover specified for this vehicle rather than ones carried across from another year of the model.

Engines

  • 2.5L V6 Gas

Trims

  • SE Sport Utility 4-Door
  • S Sport Utility 4-Door
  • SE3 Sport Utility 2-Door
  • HSE Sport Utility 4-Door

Known issues on the 2005 Freelander. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first concerns the brake light switch: on certain sport utility vehicles the brake lights may remain illuminated even when the brake pedal is not depressed, and the hill descent control, traction control and cruise control warning lights may also be illuminated, with failure to provide the proper signal when braking able to lead to a crash without warning. The second covers the door latches, where on certain five-door sport utility vehicles it is possible to operate the interior door handle to open the door when the child safety lever is in the "ON" position, so the occupant may open the door inadvertently while the vehicle is in motion and fall out into the traffic. The third is an air bag recall: the deflector panel contained in the passenger side air bag module may not have been built to specification, and damage to the air bag may occur that could allow the release of a fragment of the deflector panel into the passenger compartment, injuring the seat occupant. Owners have logged 16 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you are chasing a brake lamp switch fault, sorting out a door latch and its child lock, or working around the passenger air bag module, it holds you to the Land Rover procedure and the right figure for this 2005 Freelander.
