P38 keyfob / locking,unlocking problems

Hnizard said:

Good day, I have the same problem.
Changed the batteries and this is not it. My FOB key stopped working. Cannot open or close the doors, thus I get the "engine disabled" error message on the dashboard and cannot start the engine !
I cannot find in my vehicles papers the 4 digit security code.
What I would like to know is if :
- I can buy a new fob key set on ebay and keep my own board inside ?
and
- How can I get my security code ?

I live in the Caribbean island of Dominica so I have no Land Rover dealer or shop around !

Is there any way to disconnect the security features ?

Best regards

Hi all

Replaced the batteries in the key fob as when I was going to unlock the car, it would take a few pushes of the button for the LED on the key fob to illuminate and for the car to unlock. It works every time on the lock button though.

After replacing the batteries, it was no better, and infact now has decided not to work at all.

However, I managed to do something, whereby if I put the key in the drivers lock, and turned it clockwise to unlock the car, and held the unlock button in at the same time, the interior lights came on, all doors unlocked, and I could start the car.

I tried key 2, which has never worked since I bought the car with fresh batteries, nothing, tried it in the door lock, nothing, but now the trick with key 1 that unlocked it etc doesnt work

Any ideas?
How much are new fobs, and how do I sync them with the car?

Kind regards
Jonathan
