It is strange why we have to put up with this. RFI is a pain.
I am glad I posted this thread if it helped you, fingers crossed it can help others too.

Happened again, this time at the re-cycling centre. All was ok until the guy operated the remote control smasher/compactor to get some space in the wood and cardboard containers.
Freaking nightmare. Tried the usual, no luck. Lucky I keep the emergency key in the car as the keyfob one was having issues, not to mention the bending of the plastic as I hurriedly tried to enable the disable.......... Lucky I keep the code in my wallet.

hi to you all on this thread , this is a regular event especially at tescos hypermarkets or a lot of other well known outlets that have mobile phone masts and high output computer trafficc , the best way to eliminate this is by changing your RF RECIEVER BOX in the rear of your boot its under the right hand side of the plastic top parcel shelf very easy to access and when you check it it will have a blue circle sticker on it this is the series 2 unit installed in r/r from 1966--- 2001/2002 ,, you need to swap it for a series 3 which has the green circle sticker on it ,, the new unit eliminates this problem as landrover superseeded the blue ones cos of the printed circiut design to the new one chip design,, if you are getting total lockout or engine disabled then p.m. me and will e-mail you the re-sync info i have personally re-synced approx 47 vechicles up to date ,, but as i advise buy yourself the new green series three one and you will NOT have any more problems ,,,,hope this clears it up for you all kind regards mozz

Sorry for huuuuuuge delay to update this. I posted another thread about the "wet patch" which led me to strip the back out and ah ha, I found my RF receiver does have a blue sticker.
Better replace it at some point then
Cheers
Whilst you are there, in the meantime, wrap it in tin foil to shield it and if you can, get a snap-on ferrite clamp from Maplin to put over its leads. It should make it better and more RFI-proof until you replace it. It'll only cost £2.50 if you don't already have the parts...

Over 200 Shell stations have mobile phone masts 'hidden' in the top of their signs.
Unfortunately over 120 McDonalds also have them
and over 20 Texaco stations
Sainsbury's have got some and Tesco and, and, and
then factor in that some of them are still using up-and-down satellite links for their data
and have you seen the roof of a bookies recently?
Yup, the sooner you change those RF units the better.

Don't buy off Ebay, you are likely to get an old type in a new box. Look at Island 4 x 4, they were sub £200.
If you do a site search you will find all the info and prices along with the new part number and photo's of the internals
All models use the same receiver except for the US market and it's plug and play.

Found it:
RF Radio Receiver YWY500170 Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order.
Interestingly it looks like the sticker is green, not blue. Could be a bad pic.
