Booked into Bell Engineering for next Saturday. Thanks for the advice :)

yes indeed, was quite a squeeze! That's a whole lot of wires behind there!

SORTED! When I unplugged the cables from the original stereo to take a picture for ordering the adapter I spotted that my Alpine stereo will plug straight in! This is the original landy unit; - Top row of plugs just ignore (assume they go the original CD multichanger and dashboard...

Just looked them up and they're only a couple of hours drive from the inlaws. Cheers Angeloc, top man.

thanks guys, sound advice and 200 odd pounds seems a good price to me for piece of mind from bell engineering. Can anyone recomend anyone local to me (Eastbourne, East Sussex) who would be happy to remove VCU and props and fit a recon unit?

Hello! I drive through Battle everyday, Live in Eastbourne, work in Hastings! I drive a blue 3 door. Give me a toot if you see me :) My car's done *ahem* 130k miles.

Thanks Cuza, had a read through that yesterday. Just phoned the forementioned garage about testing it and they said drop it in and we'll have a look for free! Hooray. Although he then went on to say he thought it sounded like the IRD giving problems which makes me even more paranoid. Boo.

Having read at great lengths about the perils of Freelanders and the VCU in these and other forums I am quite aware about the importance of avoiding it siezing and the damage it can do if it does. Ive also read about the tests that can be carried out. I have recently bought 2nd hand a TD4 from...

Hello, Have got the factory fitted stereo out and looking to fit a an alpine cde-9880r in its place, it's a long shot has anyone done this specifically before? I've done a search of the forums but not found any info on stereo wiring, does anyone have an idiots guide to what cable/ lead...

Hello! Used to own a swb Series 3 ragtop about 8 years ago (before we had kids) and have missed it loads since selling it on. Have just got round to getting the nearest thing I can but still being (reasonably) sensible! My TD4 Freebie is a 3 door and the roof comes off so it's just like my old...
