Hi guys im new to the forum after buying 2 range rovers in the past 2 days, a 2.5 DT and a 4.6 V8.
The diesel one is fine and runs good, and even the air suspension is faultess.
Now the V8 is a different story, went to pick it up knowing it had no key. Got there and he had a key (Very bad description of the car), number 2 though and it wouldnt work with it, car wouldnt unlock at all so the passenger window was off its runners to get in to it, climbed through and pulled the lock and the outside handle and the drivers door opened.
Put a battery on and then thought i would try the number 2 key, all it says is key code lockout. Remote wasnt working on the fob so i took it apart and acid batteries and some of the solder on the motherboard is missing which looks like where the batteries earth. No other doors will open even with pulling the lock and obviously the central locking doesnt work, and neither does the inside door handle on the drivers side.
So my question is what can i do? Im new to this but ive read about an EKA code but dont understand how it works and i dont have one.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
