If all fails Pm me.
hi, i have a 1995 2.5 p38.
here's my problem:
remote never worked since i bought the car. always unlock it manually with key.
one morning i got out, unlocked the car, went off all was good.
came home, parked the car, locked with key, 30 min later went back, unlocked with key SURPRISE. only drivers door unlocked mechanicaly.
i opened the door and it made a short sound (bip-bip). tried to start the engine...nothing...(back then the message center wasn't displaying actual messages. instead of messages it showed codes like HANDBOOK 168, HANDBOOK 147...)...tried out everything.. eka with 4 locks before starting, eka without 4 locks, keyfob batteries....everything i could think of and read on forums.
took the car to a LR dearship, they didn't know what was happening. i ended up buying becm, ecu, ignition barrel, driver lock barrel, clocks, the whole bunch from ebay.
the mechanic swapped the old ones with the new ones, the car started, everything worked just fine. i drove the car from the dealrship to my house, parked it in the EXACT same spot when it stopped working...and guess what? it stopped working again. It's now saying Engine Disabled, Press Remote. of course, pressing the remote doesn't help.
i've tried the new eka that came with becm, doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
And to think my mate, a Defender owner, says Range Rovers are dead easy to nick!!!!

Hi Data.
I now only have mechanical driver door locking/unlocking.. will this give me a problem?
I have deactivated EKA code and passive alarm and Rf.

Hello Mozz I have the same problem so I have been looking at the how to section but I cant seem to find your notes. Could you point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks

Jose, :welcome2:
Have you tried the EKA Code??
When you enter the code do the indicators flash each time a code is entered as this indicates the BeCM has recognised the input??
Do all the doors unlock when you use the key in the door lock?? - If not then it could be the Door Lock Microswitch not giving the signals to the BeCM.
Does the Keyfob work remotely??
Do you have any messages on the Dash similar to KEYCODE LOCKOUT or ENGINE DISABLED or ENTER KEYCODE??
Do you have the Engine MIL light on on the dash after the initial bulb check? - If so, this could indicate a loss of sync between the BeCM and the Engine ECU....what vehicle is it - V8 or Diesel, 4.6 or 4.0, which year??
Do you get the flashing red LED on the fob indicating it works??
In order to resync the BeCM to the Engine ECU you will need a diagnostic machine or the BBS SyncMate tool......if this is indeed found to be the case.
Does it just turn over and over without a hint of starting?? or Do nothing, not even turning over??
You would be better to start a new thread. I suggest you check the connectors behind the kick panel in the drivers footwell for corrosion.Having a very similar problem.
Engine has been out for 5 months and battery disconnected. All gone back in but immobiliser a problem.
I have the EKA code and gone through the process of key turns as per the manual engine disabled displays, aware that there is a lockout period so left overnight to reset, tried again next day same thing.
So unusual things that are happening:
Keyfob red light works - batteries checked
central locking does not work
alarm red light flashing as it should in the car when locked
After entering the code and putting the key in the ignition i get warnings on the dash saying that all 4 windows NOT SET and then displays engine disabled.
I have seen another post in this thread about possible problems with micro switches on doors, i know the boot lock is tempremental and did not always open the boot, could this be causing an issue.
OR is there something else going on, does the computer need resetting? I spoke to landrover and they think possibly the immobiliser has forgottent the code and needs resetting?
What do people think and any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks
