Freelander 1 Sourcing VCU

[FrINlander]

Tried searching, but couldn't find anything.
I reached out to Bell to get a recon VCU for my '00 1.8 Freelander. They don't seem to do overseas business. As I am in the EU, this is an issue. Does anyone know of a reputable dealer for properly reconed VCUs or IRDs in the EU?

I found nobody alas. I looked in France, Netherlands, Germany, Austria or Hungary last year. It seems that new is the only option. I can get GKN new and in some ways, this would be the only solution I would trust. Expensive, yes. Second hand option is not worth the risk in my opinion.

Yeah, there's a lot of sellers on eBay, but I just can't get over the fear of getting scammed. I just took the prop off and am considering just reconditioning myself. I have all summer to slowly get the liquids out and in.

I know they can ship parts. Not cheap, but very reputable.

I looked at this site briefly, but the name sounded similar to one in the scam warning threads. I'll give Sue a ring. Cheers!
