    The best way to sell on a Freelander

    Just sold mine on Ebay and got a fair price for it. Put a low reserve on it some thing like you would get at the auction. Stick it on for 7 or 10 days. Don't except a full Paypal payment ( it's costly + you also pay Ebay) but ask for £200 deposit on Paypal to be paid within 3 days of action...

    Freelander problem.

    I had the same problem on mine and it was the ignition switch, you only need to change the switch on the bottom. the switch is around a tenner (not from a dealer) and it takes about 15 minutes to do. From what I remember you just take off the steering wheel cover and unscrew it.
