thanks Woko, for EMailing me the Rave Disc sections on flushing Freelander Radiators.

Wifey will today get some Front Loader Washing Powder, she says, "ah, I know why he suggested that, it doesn't suds up".

Thanks Mate, I am also having trouble coding the radio, rang ALL 4X4 who told me to ring Trivetts in Sydney. The guy gave me a six digit code which I don't think is right, I think it needs a four digit code. Being the second owner of the vehicle I don't have the book on the radio, so I have no idea how to punch the code in. I believe the radio becomes unusable after a certain amount of failed attempts. I have been on the internet and had a look at the Rave site and all the Freelander radios are different to the one I've got. Ideas anybody??

The radio is a Eurovox Model 8790FR and the display panel is square and shows a small "1" at the top of the screen. I assume this means "enter the first digit of the code". The radio has a cassette player in the facia and a six stacker CD player under the front passengers seat.

Can you send me the 10 digit serial number via PM ?

Try 1 1 1 1 - if that works, it's a 4 digit code.
If it needs 1 1 1 1 1 1, then it's a 6.
It's only a service code though & will only get the radio going for 5min.

Hey Aus' ...

Refer to this old post of mine. Went through the same issue with the factory CD/Radio in the D2a when we purchased it.

Give it a try Aus'. My code was only 4 digits btw.

Thanks Fluids, Scouse has kindly PM,d me and confirmed the code I already have from Trivetts is the correct one. Now all I gotta do is figure out how to push the right buttons on the radio.!!!!

Yes thats correct with front loader washing powder. I think freelanders are 6 digit for radio code

Thanks mate, Scouse has helped me out, it is a six figure code, I have to wait now because of my bumbling a couple of times the dial has a ---- on it. I hope I have a lot more goes before the radio becomes unusable. Last time it did the old ---- I waited an hour.
