Surely all she needs to do is get the car to the dealer and have it out with them as to what Owl has said. She doesn't need a new ecu if he Is right, and why go to the extra expense and loss of security by removing the immobiliser from the car.

Let's look at the situation, if you had this issue would you rather spend a bucket of cash on just getting back to where you were?? Prob not as neither would any of us we all want something for our cash, so if a remapper can sort this whilst giving them some extra economy and performance ( which we are always banging on about on LZ) then your getting something for your money fixing the car is secondary...
The immob I'm guessing will prob need removing in this situation I'd say without it costing and arm and a leg to sort and be fightback where she was before loosing the key..
In the real world let's face it what's the likely hood of anyone ever really trying to nick the freebie anyway it happens yes but is it really that common, prob not..
This thread amazes me.
Lost keys are a common occurrence and from what the wise man says there's no need to change ECUs or any other xCU you care to mention. No need to have a remap or remove immobilisers - sounds like bloody mad to me.
Get on the phone to Land Rover and f***g shout at them that their local representative "dealer" are causing you a huge amount of grief and being b***y stupid w***kers. Sort them out. Tell them to call you back when they have roasted them and you can get your car taken along to them to have the key/car coded.
Done, sit back with a drink and wait for the phone to ring - you might get an apology and an offer of free transport for the car, although I doubt it.
