Hi, I sold my Freelander in April (thank you Mr Khan) and have today found a spare key fob. I’m presuming it’s vehicle specific so unless anyone on here has bought it then it’s no use to anyone?
As far as I’m aware the vehicle was MOT tested in Morpeth, so looks as if it’s up north somewhere

" I’m presuming it’s vehicle specific....."

Yes you are correct.

Although it could be reprogrammed by a Dealer AT A HUGE COST to another vehicle.

RRUK - what are your professional thoughts.

Why not post it to the new keeper ? 2013 FL2 XS.
Defender 90 300 TDi.
Defender 90 300 TDi CSW.
1964 MGB Roadster.
1944 Willys MB "Jeep" with bullet holes. (gone)
17 hand Irish Drought Thoroughbred (mostly lame)
Nagging Old Boiler.

Don’t know who they are. Car went in p/ex in Kent

you wouldn't, else you would have 'control' of that vehicle.

Oh well, if there’s anyone joins the forum having bought a 2013 (reg GK63) then shout and I’ll forward it on. Can always pm

Would DVLA help ? or would you need to find a helpful police officer ? Jules

Hi Jules, to be honest I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this, I thought I’d passed both keys to the dealer when we p/ex. Can only think they were the new fobs I’d got from RRUK and this was one of the originals. Unless there’s someone on here has bought the car and wants the fob I’ll get shot of it

Have you told us how you are getting on with your new Skoda Karoq yet? FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 76k+ miles) (MY2015)

I’d never really used the Freelander to its full potential, more for its easy access and driving position. The Karoq meets those requirements and has proved to be a decent car thus far. We’d thought about the Kodiaq but couldn’t see we’d ever need the 7-seat capability and fundamentally that’s the only real difference I’d say between the two. We opted for the Sportline 1.5dsg (Skoda speak for auto!) which is consistently returning 40mpg on local runs, we’re yet to go on a decent Mway journey but would expect to better that. Infotainment set up took some getting used to, especially the satnav, probably more down to ‘operator error’. Only complaint I really had was with the 19in alloys, fitted with OEM Bridgestones which found ever single bump and pothole. General consensus from other Skoda owners was to swap to smaller rims but I went against that and fitted CrossClimates which have been an absolute revelation, chalk and cheese in comparison to the Bridgestones; and Significant Other’s happy now 😏

" ..... 19in alloys, fitted with OEM Bridgestones which found ever single bump and pothole......"


and when it comes to changing them, a bigger hole in your wallet !

The CrossClimates through Camskill came in on a special deal at around £600 and there was a Michelin cashback offer of £50 which pretty much covered the fitting cost. Well worth the outlay
