Would have thought they would have stated if it was new, so maybe a chance at second hand. Its not a hard job to do so with the price of new I'm leaning towards second hand. Only my opinion though and have known to be wrong before
Probably new,I think I paid£150+the dreaded last time I bought new many years.The RF problem burnt out the motor and I had to remove the rear door to access the striker and cut through it to open the door.I returned the lock with the striker still in it and they replaced the lock and gave me a striker I fitted a remote jog switch then and haven't had a problem since, touch wood.

I got mine from the Bay, make sure you get a jog switch so your missus doesn't leave it switched on isn't that right Brian.
I piggybacked the power and ground from the r f receiver wiring and cut the wire from the receiver to the becm, can't remember the colour and used the jog to make and break continuity.I could check if you get stuck but from memory the blue wire is the aerial the black and red are the ground and power so that leaves only one other that plugs into the receiver. Brian will probably have more information.
When I know I am leaving the Rangie unused for a while I have a solar trickle charger that I couple to the battery to keep it topped up. Believe quite a few people do use them
All my cars & the Transit have solar panels connected when parked.
Ok i am on the desk top now so here is my original right up

And this is the closest switch to the one i used as you get two remotes and its on a different frequency to the p38 unless you have a north american motor, this one is two button so you have to remember to press the remote again after you lock it

And this one will keep Alan happy as you cant forget to turn it off

hope this helps, its very easy to fit and will stop all signals getting through and is a fraction of the cost of the JLR fix
I doubt it would be the torque converter, it does not have the daft variable slip clutch like the L322.
I have not heard of many torque converter failures on the P38, in fact I cannot remember hearing about any.
Well done for not going down the curly steel route.
