EKA , Emergency Key Access, normally used when your fob stops working and you have to use the key to open the door.
It is a four digit number ( Maybe hexadecimal) , normally kept on the security card, if you do not have it then i would suggest asking your nearest landrover dealer for it for safety, they should give it to you for free with proof of ownership.
Worth trying in case it has a headache from changing batteries. Strange things happen on these old machines.
Did it go wrong after you changed the battery in the fob?
Have you had other issues?
Cheers

The changing of the fobs battery has no bearing on the alarm sounder sounding or not.
It seems the alarm is working okay indicated by the hazards flashing but it's the sound that's missing, so maybe a iffy sounder or its electrical connection so was it sounding before when did u last do a test?

So, when you say the "alarm won't work", and "all is normal apart from the alarm sounding" do you mean that the siren doesn't work - if so, then perhaps you should check the siren - a basic check of its connections would be a good place to start, clean them up etc.....
