Immobiliser fault, help please

bigneil · Mar 23, 2010

Hi all, I have a 2001 HSE 4.0, it had a flat battery, I have fitted a new battery and entered the key code( I have done this once before and it worked fine).
I seem to remember that last time I did it, that at the end of the sequence the alarm gave one "beep", to indicate the code had been accepted. This time there is no indication and when I put the key in the ignition the engine will turn over but not fire. I must add the car has stood for about 3 weeks, but has always fired first go in the past even when it has been left standing. Does anyone know if you should get an indication that the keycode has been accepted, and does anyone have any ideas how I can get my pride and joy running again. Thanks in advance.

your about 100 mile from me maybe there is someone closer with the kit to sort you out
if your going to keep your rangie you will need to get a sync mate because it will happen when you least expect it:doh: i keep mine in the cubby box
£129 from tawpark 4x4 or from black box solutions[ not sure on bbs price]
i have no connection with tawpark 4x4 or b b solutions whatsoever

j the range · Mar 23, 2010

Hi klf400, do you think a auto electrician would be able to re-sync it on his lap-top?

rather unlikely, the range rover operating system is quite unique may be able to read engine fault codes but little more
some local garages will tell your all sorts of things like main ecu is fooked etc
your way foward is someone with the right kit faultmate,autologic, testbook or syncmate will sort in no time as j the range quotes
