Hi guys, i think i have bought a lemon of a 4.6 HSE p38(aren`t they all??) i love the car but am having a small problem trying to get hold of the eka code.i had the misfortune to have the key fob explode in a supermarket carpark and manage to lodge itself under the seat by the BECM, so after removing said seat my only keyfob became usless, the vehicle i have just found out was a jap import and is not on my local dealers database. anybody out there able to help me track down a way to get the vehicle to start with out the code?


News update, just had a call from traceabiliy(no idea who these are my dealer got in touch with them).
Because my car is a jap import there is no EKA code for or required so now i need to know how to resynk my key?
any and all help would be appreciated....

cheers gavbriggs, at the mo i am two days away from the car but upon my return i will try 1515.
i know i said that the car was a jap import but will it still be classed as a NAS spec car?
thanks again for advice.

she's a very competent wife, mine wouldn't even try! lol!

press the button on the remote then unlock with key within 30 seconds

or

turn the key in the door whilst holding a button, then back to vertical and turn the other way whislt holding a button, try different combinations of this as i'm not sure of the sequence. hold the key in position for 5 or 10 seconds!

i would look a bit more on rangerovers and do a search on here as i'm sure its all been covered before(maybe not for NAS spec tho)

hi gavbriggs i changed the batteries at the start of the saga. i am leaving the car overnight and if it is still working in the morning then good, if it doesnt work i will look into replacing the rf reciever in the boot.
Again many thanks for your time and know-how.

ooh, you say supermarket! i read a thread on a forum that suggested a certain company with orange and white vans could/have interefered with the rf signals somehow and screwed up people rangeys in much the same way as yours!
