anyone got an old working radio/cassett player to sell ?

It would be cheaper for me to buy one of these AMR5719 R770 RADIO CASSETTE HEAD UNIT | Freelander 1996>: Accessories | shop | www.lrseries.com | L. R. Series than to get my own fixed.The casette player just keeps clicking from one direction to the other.
If someone has one that they no longer need,I would gladly buy it for a reasonable price.Even better if someone in Ireland could sell on to pick up.

Thanx either way.

Is that like an 8 track(joke)

no but its like 8 times better than a scratchy cd player.Transferred a load of cd's to tape just before I got my licence back a few years ago,but with it laid up for a year and a bit the tape player expired.

Send me a PM on Monday to remind me, i`ll see what i`ve got in work. had a shed load i`d removed from cars so i`ll see whats working and what i`ve got

A standard tape / radio will fit the hole.. any joys in sourcin' one? if not, ah've got a Kenwood jobbie that ah used in mine

Nice one I will do.

You've probably already sourced one, but I removed the Freelander head unit when it was new, Its a Rover part number AMR 5696

Has removable facia (buttons) also have the facia case and radio security code

Still very much interested,I have to try and work out how to transfer payment.It's been broken for a few years now.
If any one can come up with a good/safe way to pay for said radio,I will take it.
Thanx for the offers SASBob,WHippo,Nor'rn Irelander and Buster .
I'm not very proficient with my crappy soldering iron so would like one that just plugs in.
I do not have a credit card,so hopefully someone can come up with a good payment transfer method.

It's a new head unit, as in unused, I put a MD head unit in as soon as I got the FL, literally the next day. It has sat in a box for the last few years...............in no hurry to sell it, can hold it for you if you dont get one locally.

the radio codes in the handbook.

It has standard ISO plug ports, should be plug an play.

Even has the original chassis, I'll even give you the quick release tool for removing the head unit!


Send Crewey (Freebiker) up to collect it, cross border relations and all that

Just checked the entertainment manual, this is the R660, not the R770 which you are after, the R770 has a multi-disc port and skip track functions on the head unit buttons
