Under the panel under your steering wheel there’s satellite fuse box. Should be labelled on the back of the panel mate. Got a little box strapped to it called your MFU which controls courtesy light timings etc

Excuse my lack of knowledge, where is this fuse? So far I've never had any issues with my auto so I know little apart from how to drive it.

I dont have personal experience but Freelanders seem to have a pretty good reputation.The early models seem to be more resistant to serious rust. Need to watch for 4wd problems.

I'd be very interested to hear the outcome as I have a nice Td auto, albeit going very well so far.

No spider on an Auto, immobiliser seems to be inside the injector pump. I'm not too sure, but if you've changed the injection pump, you also need to use the same green ecu to match the donor pump. Someone may correct me on this. Unfortunately...

I've found on two Discos that lazy central locking can be lack of use. My current one sits in a dry garage for 10 months each year, once it's been in use for a couple of days central locking works much better. Admittedly I don't trust it completely.

Interior space might be a problem but would she consider a late Freelander or an early Disco Sport with the same 2.2 engine. Much better engine. Watch for rear subframe corrosion.
