his worked on my Freelander 1 2000 Perkins , hopefully it will work on yours too.
Set the scene;
I've bought a new fob case for my one key fob and noticed the battery holder was damaged and resoldered it. The one key I have only fits the fuel cap and not the door. The fob will no longer unlock the car :(. Call my breakdown company for assistance.

Now, how did we get it too work? To save you the hassle of trying everything, here's what we did...

1. Wedge open a rear door and wind down a window with a hook, all the way so that you can either climb in or use the hook to realise the bonnet.

2. Open the bonnet and press the fuel cut of switch (mine was at the top right, rubber cap, just presses in)

3. Press a fob button, the alarm that's going off should stop and your locks should work.

Picture below for button reference, it's not my photo and I don't reccomend linking out the switch that stops the engine in a crash o_O

We were both quite impressed and thought this was noteworthy. He said that it resets the dead locks because of the "crash" and apparently also relearns the fob.
