Lucas 17TN is what you need. Will need to be programmed to CCU. Might be able to find you one. Will PM. Can buy new case and buttons easily on ebay.

OK. PScan will do it. Seem to be about £15 ukp for a remote. Fit a new case and buttons and job done !

Thanks @andyfreelandy. I need/want to have a second working fob. Knowing it is the 17TN is a huge help. I just ordered a pscan from @pscan.eu to help me with the bizarre behaviour on the SRS side, so I can do the CCU work too.

I just looked here and on eBay for a FL1 2005 key fob supplier. Any recommendations that respect the bank account please? Do the Rover 25 45 100 200 400 ZS ZR MG MGF 2 Button fobs suit FL1? Thanks

Hi all, I stumbled across this the other day and thought it could be useful to share. https://caravanchronicles.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/freelander-electrical-circuits-2004.pdf It's a 150 page pdf of wiring diagrams for a 2004 Freelander...

My first thoughts are whether the icarsoft can talk to the SRS and if it does whether it successfully connected to your SRS ECU. Sounds silly when you have your own diagnostic device, but I'd see if there was a garage willing to give you the...

My Icarsoft doesn't connect to SRS. Probably a connector under seat or the clock spring as you say but a proper code read will tell you which one.

Thanks, while out shopping for beer to help my misery, I thought much as you. I’ve called a friend who has the LR setup to fully diagnose. Maybe there is something happening with the ECU and there is no fault at all with the systems it’s...

Does a hippo drive you to drink?? 🤣 What’s so infuriating is everything else is working, even HDC. Pretensioners are all same length. I’m ringing The Samaritans later…. they surely know some of our issues!

Hello, came to UK last week with the TD4 2005 Facelift FL1 (manual trans, no cruise control). During the ferry crossing and hour getting through a DRENCHED Portsmouth, I had both the SRS light come on and the orange hill descent warning light...

Thanks, mine must be an early genuine LR example, it looks exactly like the assembly notes that show the spacers. Strange though that I couldn’t find it on the classic landrover site. All in all, your idea and my thinking about making spacers...

I've also had one with it welded on, and one with separate spacers.

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked and there are no plates welded to my LR tow bar.

Also, some tow bars have this plate welded on so not an additional item.

Makes perfect sense, thank you. I appreciate it.

From memory, they are metal plates, which take up a gap between the fitted position of the tow bar and the rear box section. The easiest thing to do is fit the bar using the side chassis rail fixings, then measure the gap between the bar and the...

Hello Okay, the new DM clutch is in and I need to fit a tow bar. My TD4 never had one fitted. I sourced a used genuine LR tow bar with OEM fasteners and was about to fit it. I read the fitting instructions posted in the forum from 2008. I...

Share the error. Many others will have already and many will go on to make same mistake !!

or as you have the starter motor out of the way, use a pry bar or large screwdirver in the flywheel cogs.

A faulty oil cooler won't put air bubbles into the coolant, it'll put oil in the coolant. A constant stream of bubbles could be a small leak in the thermostat housing, or O ring in the area of the inlet side of the water pump. Does it loose...

I guess the advice to the OP is WALK AWAY!

I had a feeling this would be the case, but I guess the insurance company would have to know about the change to not make it void in the event of an accident?

All depends really on whether you want to use the 4 wheel drive system. As you probably know, they generally get removed due to issues with the VCU (first), which can then mess up the IRD / drivetrain. If they are removed as preventative work...

Hi, A professional should sell you a complete car ! No propshaft is already a problem, maybe there is others, once you buy, the seller will not answer any calls from you. Are you realy expecting a warranty for a 20 years old cars … ?

Older cars cost more to maintain but virtually zero on depreciation so in the end they are much cheaper to own. Sometimes (not always. ;)) it's better to stick with the car you know than to buy something totally unknown.

But if you'd decided to buy a car for 3 grand, the clutch could have crapped out in 6 months anyway. I never understand why people relate the cost of a repair to the value of the car - it needs to be compared to a REPLACEMENT car that's worth...

If the hose clip cannot be accessed then cut the band and fit new with screw aligned to reach it ! A 1/4 in long extension and sometimes a UJ helps.
