Hi all! Well didn't think my first post would be a yell for 'Help!' The battery was disconected within 17 seconds of switching off this morning to remove,clean conections on a few cables as I have a gearbox fault warning on the dash,after reconecting the -ive cable she started up fine (4.0 SE Petrol,79 400 RR stamped miles in service book) She would not close via remote fob so I closed her with the key,phew she locked straight away.......now she won't open with neither keys,nor neither fobs.:eek:

Old service bill shows a check to BECM,all ok,battery charged,engine restarted,window reset too all in Jan 2014 at Colliers Land Rover West Midlands,a EKA CODE was given to which is a four digit number.I have tried so many times with this code and with the four turns to the left before entering it at the drivers door keyhole,still wont open the doors.:(:(

Any insight tips most appreciated.Thank You.

EKA is used to bypass the Key to immobiliser synchronisation....

I have a feeling your drivers door lock is fecked and it is not registering the key turn to unlock the door....do you get flashing of the turn indicators when you input the EKA code?? if not, it may be the little lock microswitch is fecked!

Have seen this before don't know what caused it but as far as i can recall had to disable alarm with diagnostics.
 
A productive afternoon just trying just a few remedies read on here to try and get mobile,first the jumpleads to starter didn't work in this instance,neither did disconnecting battery key position2 method,but, yeah charging up the battery just for 1/4 hour even though it was charged (In my opinion!) and then entering the keycode outside,the locks popped open and wehey it started :) :) :)

Next quest will be to find out why wont it close and open via keyfob...

So,Sunday night homework is to find out ,help most appreciated again :) Thank You.

They hate low battery volts.
Sounds like RF receiver, stand close to the rear quarter off side window that has the aerial in it and try, the aerial may be disconnected.
Oh, and charge the battery overnight.
 
well after a 1/2 hour trickle charge and putting in the keycode hey presto she opens and closes with the key,then I put the key in lock turned right pressed right lock on fob and same for left and the fob remote is now back on form :) Cheers for the guidance all ! :D
