Here are the measurements of the chip by vernier caliper.

Or keep it under the boot floor, around the spare wheel. If you make sure you double lock the car every time, the only way in is through a broken window, and accessing the under boot floor without the rear hatch open is basically impossible...

I found this page informative about the various systems in the FL1 over the years https://www.remotekey.co.uk/help/land-rover-freelander-key-fob-and-immobiliser-problems/

Or keep it under the seat, so you can pull it out in a hurry! 🤫

I think my key is a recut from a blank, but how it is in a LR holder intrigues me. I do have a chip in mine. 2005 Facelift.

Do you happen to have the dimensions for the chip? I doubt anything like that would fit my key, although they're branded as 'chippable'. I don't have it on me ATM so can't post a picture. I'm hoping my car is old enough to rely on the fob for the...

It's just this is your 4th post with the same problem. Makes it really difficult to see what responses you have had and what has been advised and tried. Remove duplicate posts, post results of tests and you'll find this is one of the best...

I'm also curious about alternative suppliers. Mine is Silca branded and has worked until now. It's fairly slim, so I'm unsure if it actually carries the chip.

Soldered a new O2 sensor for the Lodgy and had it in for the(equivalent) MOT. The Freelander had the pleasure of taking my wife to work. She really doesn't like driving it. This should give me more leeway for the repair budget. :D Still waiting...

Fixed the HDC (thanks for your recent pic' postings @andyfreelandy - super helpful) and am now ready for my first big trip this year. Dodgy connector!! This will fix other wet weather problems seen via pscan and showing up in the display. I...

These were my exact symptoms before I took off the prop. Resistance to roll and accelerating from standstill, especially in reverse. The VCU was done(still working on it).

This is a quite large topic, but some things to check first. - Can you hear the pump "priming" when you turn power on? It should cut off after a few seconds. - Are all the fuses ok?

I don't know if these help.

Great! Thank you. I'm unsure how I overlooked this, I'm fairly sure I've already been to this site. I'm considering collating the info into a pdf for future reference.

I found some results with the search tool, but the links are either out of date, the russian webmasters have made the contents unavailable or the engine model is left unspecified(allbrit.de). I'm looking for the parts catalogue for '00...

Long time lurker, first time poster: Cleaned all the contacts on the numberplate light to make it work again - Bloody thing failed my MOT! Next job, clean all the wheel speed sensors and disks in the hope that I won't have to replace any.

I should have left a gap between 'every' and 'one' there perhaps! 😁

😱😱😱😱😱🫣

Yup. Leaky seal still on. I didn't bring a fresh one though, so that's probably on me. At least I've learned to get the seals at the same time I get the replaceable part. I thought I learned that lesson after a very eventful brake pad replacement...

Nothing too impressive, but it's the little things that make you smile. Especially with how often you find yourself under it. I don't expect anyone but me and the MOT inspector to enjoy it though. :D

Yes, I figured I could fix the wire myself if it's obvious enough. Forgot to mention that the axle/IRD seal also broke while in service, or sometime before. Mechanic stated it was already leaking when they took it in. Either the seal was bad and...

Easy to damage ABS sensor cables when changing driveshaft. Looks suspiciously like they might have damaged it. Some folks don't unplug and stretch cable to take driveshaft out. Worth checking the plug and socket are good in the wheel arch...

Finished the last round of painting my sump guard. Previous owner had made one (reworked from some other vehicle) himself and it had some rust and dents. Ground off the rust and most of the paint, primed in black and painted the bottom in olive...

Wheel bearing(left rear) changed and CV Axle(RH) replaced at garage. What has changed: - Less vibration and shudder - TC and ABS lights are on constantly Originally it was going in to have the LH CV changed, but now they said RH was worse off...

It's harder to prove something doesn't exist than that it does. I would assume any MOT would know of the cut-off years for various features. I tried looking at the RAVE, but I wasn't able to find anything regarding this(it's a bit out of scope)...

This is so much prettier than my spanner bucket and misc. heap. 🫠

I need to contact seller for shipping. If that lucks out, I may save a lot of time. Good find, thank you! Merci!

@FrINlander - I just saw this driveshaft with attached VCU on Fleabay. In France showing 20€ delivery.

TBH, there is always sludge on the drain plug, its a question of how much and whether there are any shards in it.
