Ta Phil

Answer
Hi Phil,

the only reference I have to P1612 is for LR Disco's:

P1612(2)* Solenoid valves power supply relay, sticking closed or open circuit.  Limp home mode in low and high ranges. Shift pressure to maximum, harsh gear shifts/
engagement.  Don't think this applies to your Freelander.

Could it be ignition switch?  I vaguely remember a anti-theft malfunction associated with this code.

That's about all I can think of.

Best of luck,

JohnMc
