be carefull con man, some friendly advice.. watch your back.

it seems so many inoccent people have trusted this man to solve ther common freelander problem, entrusted him with saving's and hard earned money only to be blatently ripped off!!
anyone who has suffered the same as me, contact trading standards!!
he can run but can he hide!!
 
Problem is if you do find them-ever getting payment will be a nightmare

At 1221hrs today I decided to E mail the company regarding wanting to purchase a new IRD unit and lo and behold at 1231hrs received this reply


Hi

Prices start from £400 for a part reconditioned unit with a 6 months warranty to £500 for A fully reconditioned unit with 1 years warranty

Delivery prices are £35 which includes collection of your exchange unit.

Many thanks

Would appear they are still willing to take money from people.

Hi
We have fully reconditioned units At the price of £500, his includes a full years warranty, Yes its very important you change the vcu as this is more than likely the cause of the ird failure. vcu's are £200 If ordered together for the price of £700 i will throw in free delivery.

Kind regards
Im after a replacement IRD unit, hopefully new or fully reconditioned for a 2002 V6 Petrol Freelander.
Would it be wise to also replace the VCU?
How much would it cost to supply both units
Cheers
Gary
Do you take Paypal??

Dont post too much on here, he's a member and will no doubt be monitoring what's being said

if no one posted anything he'd think that a green light to carry on - posting as much of the fookers details as possible will hopefully stop him sleeping at night and make him aware his days are numbered
 
All the details I have on this guy including Bank details/I.P address have been forwarded to the relevant authorities.

I agree.

He tried also tried to blackmail some members on here by telling them to delete previous threads about what he'd done to them and that if they didn't do as he said they would never see their money again. When the threads vanished he would then tell other members who complained that the thread was deleted becuase he had friends in high places on this site.

Maybe it's time he found out that the only friends that he has in high places are the courts. With a bit of luck they might even throw him his own special party.

Fingers crossed the net is closing around this conman. (It's just a shame it's not a noose):mad::mad::mad:

Didnt mean it like that, think its right that this dickhead be exposed, just meant dont give away any tactics on how to fight the **** that would give him a head start.
 
i have just sent an e-mail to police regarding the freelanderirdspecialists.com

I paid him 7400 GBP for 70x crown wheel and pinion to the freelander IRD box, haven't heard anything from him since 30th october.

I'm from Poland, all who are been conned by this person report police ASAP,


Heard that he took money for nearly 400 sets of crownwheel and pinion, from outside the UK, and didn't deliver anything ! and this outside the UK !!

Sawtoothing tyres are not, necessarily, signs of a VCU problem - it is a common problem on SUV's and can be caused by lack of tyre rotation.
Best to check the VCU anyway tho.

Thanks for that - agree. At 94k miles I'm going for the peace of mind as I know the rest of the powertrain is good. Been running mondo since summer and was badly caught out by recent snow - not good wheel spinning up the road in my 2 wheel drive!

New VCU from Ashcroft is great - This is now how it should feel (i believe) i.e. light drag on full lock but otherwise can t tell its there. Just in time for our latest dump of the white stuff and the FL is coping really well.
