front park light doesn't work - bulbs ok, fuse ok.any ideas where is problem?

Do they have a park light? I don't think they do Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Most cars will swap from indicator to a single side lamp when the ignition is switched off, does the Freelander not do this?

w5w bulb.

Not that I have noticed Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Nor have I, no Parking Lights, just side lights which are normally known as parking lights now.

That's strange?
Most cars allow you to have a single lamp front and rear, it saves battery drain.
With the Freelander then, you will have front and rear sidelamps, number plate lamps and dash lamps illuminated all night?

first position on light switch is side light, on this position side light doesn't work .side lights doesn't work any position on switch (when is the switch on dipped or auto position).rear side light working properly.

I had with a single parking light was a Mk 3 Cortina, controlled by the indicator stalk, from memory my TD5 Disco had parking lights I think, but all four lights would come on but not the panel or number plate lights. Parking lights are the side lights, though the general consensus nowadays is that side lights are for parking only, not to be used when moving. If battery drain concerns you it is possible to turn down the brightness of the panel lights that should keep the side lights lit for another couple of minutes:lol:

Use led side lights, i presume they'll help to keep draining down Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

question was why doesn't work

Sorry Popeye, we get sidetracked sometimes


A dodgy connection may be a possibility? Do you have means of measuring power at the fuse and trace from there, to the switch and beyond.
Have you physically checked, sometimes fuses, bulbs "look" ok, but are not, hope you get it sorted

You could try swapping the lamp holder complete with lamp to the other headlight, if works then swap the lamps, process of elimination. That way you can rule out the lamp and lamp holder

Because the Freelander 2 does not have park lights

You can switch your sidelights on and have both on if you wish to park with lights on

If your asking something else try explaining yourself better  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
