    Freelander 1 3 Amigo's with handbrake and no working speedometer/RPM/temprature.

    Looks like your dash has lost its network connection. If you don't get any suggestions on here, it may be time to call in the auto electrician.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    That's a cracking looking motor.

    Think the F1 must be pretty reliable, as I haven't needed anything off the parts car for a while.

    Freelander 1 No gear selection.

    Bugger. Always best to break down at a nice place though. In my much younger days me and my mates were heading down to Camber Sands for the day when the Spartan popped 3 studs on a wheel. Luckily I managed to stop before the last 1 went. Happened right outside an Oast house cafe, so coffee...

    Freelander 1 Preserving the scarce ! FL1

    Its worth what someone is willing to pay for it I suppose.

    They are just things in the ABS system related to the gearbox. However, TBH, I don't think they would throw just the ABS, more likely give 2 Amigos without the ABS! To then throw the full monty 3 Amigos, suggests 2 problems... probably from the ABS sensor that was cleaned up :oops: I recon...

    Is that a typo? Was it the SRS light or ABS? Is it one or both of the 1st/reverse sensor wires on the gearbox loose?

    Freelander 1 Alloy sump guard/ undertray

    By the angle of the trailing arm that has been lifted beyond acceptable. Especially by the fact the tyre looks to be rubbing the sill as its been dragged forward so much by the arm.

    Freelander 1 What is in the box (brake shoes)

    There can't be to many brake shoe manufacturers in Spain.

    Electrical or computer starting problems

    Yeh, its quite funny. You'd think the headlights would do the job, but nah. Headlights and fan blower on highest, nah. The thing that I've found has the best chance of pumping some amps is to turn on the wipers, but not guaranteed. These are mainly VW Crafters.

    Electrical or computer starting problems

    That's assuming the car hasn't turned off the alternator. I have a dickens of a job trying to get vans to charge the battery (when its stationary) even when they are not 100% SOC.

    My L Series failed a WOF (MOT) on that part, probably about 6 years ago. I got a replacement (from Bearmach I believe). Fitted it and the vibration was horrendous. Put it through the recheck, then swapped back to the original. Its been fine and sailed through its 6 monthly WOF checks ever...

    Key programming

    There are lots of people selling new keys/fobs. Lots on AliExpress that are dirt cheap, and there were some local outfits but they were more $ (although still lots lots cheaper than the stealer). I concluded that the local ones would just be Ali ones that people are making margins on, so would...

    I also worried about that. I'd have had to wait 6 weeks for the stealer to ship keys over from the UK (if it knackered the only working key) and if you think their prices in the UK are fairy tail numbers, you should see what they end up like over here. Its what god gave you balls for... to...

    I know you've oriented them in different directions, but there's no way I'd get under a car supported by lumps of wood like that!

    Key programming

    I have the Autel dongle - think its a Maxi AP200. I got it specifically to program some keys because the car only came with 1. Got the Autel and a couple of fobs from AliExpress and the Autel did program them and they can be used in the car. As stated, you need to have at least 1 working key...
