hello, I am new to this forum.
A bit about myself - I am from Latvia and I am Land Rover driver and parts dealer.
Unfortunately I can say I am also victim of freelanderirdspecialists. Off course I can blame myself that I was too lazy and too busy to collect information about company prior ordering something. Amount of money was not too big so I do not worried. At the beginning of the October I transferred +-200 GBP and then all communication stopped. I transferred money to Dan Ball private bank account. Dan position - he do not received money, I talked to bank they said he did.
I would like to say at the beginning response to my e-mail was very fast, +-10minits, "specialist" was very kind and interested. Exact opposite was happened when money was on his account. So I suppose Dan is sitting on e-mail and waiting for dummies and all bla bla about hard times is absolute b.... there are no any irdspecialist I think there are only cowboys whose activities are planned!

Working with Land Rovers, I am dealing with many UK companies and my previous experience was very good. I would like to say I do not know any other vehicle marque where are such strong global community and so good relationship between people. Unfortunately there are ever first time...

My company is part of one of the biggest global LR parts channel so I do my best everyone knows about this company

Sorry for bad English
best regards
Maris

p.s. if any of LR drivers are interested to off-road in Latvia please fell free to contact me, you will be surprised how much freedom we have driving all arround

A friendly employee at Barclays would help, found his mate Ben Noon in Muswell hill a month ago and believe your mate Dan Ball has connection with Milton Keynes

we just want our money back - we had to buy another unit - we are so skint!! we have bills to pay, mouths to feed ect ect - Whilst i was waiting for the unit - my mum - who has the most cruel disease not unlike motor nuerones had an appointment at Adenbrooks - we had been waiting such a long time for a specialist appointment. I begged this Dan Ball of IRDSPECIALIST to send the part for my car, just got excuse after excuse.... any way - we missed the appointment because i didnt have the car to take her!!! unforgivable!!!!

Hi i would really like to know the disease you mum has I have one to but it is called a condition as you can not catch it it is called adhesive arachnoiditis caused by having dye injections into the spine most people have had one I have had six as i have a lot of trouble with my neck and back after breaking them
 
so, now over a year on, have you had all your money refunded ? what is the score with mr dan ball ? did everyone get paid back ?
 
We had trouble with this bloke last year, ordered IRD, paid for it, never arrived. Chased and call and got no response whatsoever. He must be making a fortune ripping of so many innocent people.
 
No and when I provided details of his current location nobody did a thing about it.

The piece of **** came on here squirming and then disappeared again
 
I came across a strange link today to a LR parts co.

The ad was for "Land Rover Spares North East" and linked to their website....

LAND ROVER SPARES NORTH EAST

However, embeded in the advert was another link to....

http://www.freelanderspares.com/

This second link failed, server not found. But it rang bells, so I've tried to dig through the rip-off VCU supplier info on here.

FreelanderIrdSpecialists were rips off merchants at around 2010 - but do look to have closed up shop. Their product quality wasn't the problem - it was not getting product after paying for it.

Then came reports about FreelanderSpares VCUs in 2012. These people did supply product but by the looks of it, they were rubbish...

http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/vcu-problem-240241.html

True to being "found out", the FreelanderSpares website is down, but the same people are now trading as "Land Rover Spares North East". It is the same "SUNTER & MORRIS MOTORS" according to to their website registration ad email addresses on thier website. Website says they've been trading since 1983, web domain was registered May 2014.

I think tread with caution is advised.

Just so people are not confused FreelanderSpecialists are a bonafide Freelander parts & service co.

for an earlier model,to be fair i phoned them up &
the response was send it back for full refund + postage
refund as well,their feedback is pretty good on fleabay.
hope you people get some recompense for yourselves.
regards stan.
 
Never ever pay any such items/services without paypal. Regardless of the cost if they claim "oh paypal fees" offer to pay the fees yourself then. Just a general advise on anything to be fair.
