Looking for a part.... Any advice?

Hello everyone,

I've managed to get my hands on a 1998 Freelander! It's in great condition, and runs really well.

The only niggling problem is that the dashboard LCD display for the Clock/Radio is almost completely broken. It's impossible to read it.

Does anyone have any ideas as to where I might be able to find a replacement?

Many Thanks,

Kim

You could also do a Google search for "freelander clock" which will bring up a selection of new parts such as: Famous Four Products Ltd. - New Parts - Freelander 1998-2006 Models - Electrical

It is the same part as the Rover 200/400 & 25/45 - except the Rover car display is orange, not green.

Uncle Willo done a how to fix it report on this . . . .go into search un read that first mind you he is a unusual clever earthling

Don't bother buying a new unit until you've at least tried fixing it. Mine was the same faded away over the course of 5 years. As the noble Ming says do the search. IT WORKS! After cleaning the contacts I noticed I'd overdone it a bit and rubbed some of the connections on the ribbon off but there was just enough to make contact by sliding it up a bit before taping it on. Initially there was improvement but a few segments didn't work but I cured that by folding up a bit of paper and putting it at the back of the box so it really pressed the conections home when the box is clipped back together.
