Check first, you may be lucky and have the latest unit fitted.
To check you need to open the unit and compare the internals. See the attached picture.

That is extremely helpful I will check, and if it has not been changed and will be my first task on the car ( its just had a new battery...don't know what the reason was... could be scheduled change or constant flatty
Does a new RF receiver need coding to my car/key or is it just a glorified aerial for the alarm/central locking?
and i take it i can plug it in without disconnecting the battery... or would you advise doing this...
Thank you for your advice...
prevention is better than cure..

No need to diss the battery

I used to have a switch on mine before replacing the receiver with the latest. That had the same effect as disconnecting the main plug, but always had the battery connected when turning on and off.
At your own risk obviously but never had to worry about it on mine.

Get him to knock a big chunk off the price and fix it yourself, the P38 EAS system is actually pretty cheap and simple to fix if you're methodical.
Agree with SaS, the EAS is a simple system and can be overhauled for around £350...
Wammers and Datatek ar the defacto geniuses on the EAS system on here - you can't go far wrong by sticking on here and getting advice and imparting your own knowledge....stick with it, a Range Rover is a lifestyle not a car.

It is only a lifestyle because it is what you have to live in after you sell your house to fund the never ending repair bills. When women see a man driving a RR now they don't think "wow, he must have money" instead they think "that basstid must be pennyless, legs go after that Alfa driver instead."

seriously?
That has to be one of the first times i have seen Datatek tell someone to walk away from a EAS problem!!seriously?
Or does he think something more sinister is afoot?

Yesseriously?
More importantly, your other half needs to have the patience of a saint. Mine hit the bricks after I cancelled date night one times too many because the RR needed some TLC. Suppose it means my RR wasn't the least reliable woman in my life.
It moved when I hit it, it isn't dead yet.

Never buy a P38 with a known problem, garage must be worried or they would not have sent it to be fixed. Whatever the fault, the fix will be done at minimum cost, just enough to get it off the forecourt.
If bigredtaxi has no patience with breakdowns, the P38 is not a good buy.
Very true - the golden rule of Range Rover buying - never buy one with faults unless you know the full story and are fully aware of the potential repair costs etc...Never buy a P38 with a known problem, garage must be worried or they would not have sent it to be fixed.

Fair Game....
