Good day, I have the same problem.
Changed the batteries and this is not it. My FOB key stopped working. Cannot open or close the doors, thus I get the "engine disabled" error message on the dashboard and cannot start the engine !
I cannot find in my vehicles papers the 4 digit security code.
What I would like to know is if :
- I can buy a new fob key set on ebay and keep my own board inside ?
and
- How can I get my security code ?

I live in the Caribbean island of Dominica so I have no Land Rover dealer or shop around !

Is there any way to disconnect the security features ?

Best regards

You could try the generic 1515 North American EKA code, otherwise contact a dealer with your vehicle details and get it.
Your FOB may not be the problem, it could be the RF receiver in the car at fault.
 
+1 on Mrsporty fixed my broken fob..... and +1 on the generic 1515 code otherwise you will have to contact the manufacturer
 
When you resynch you need to do it properly. You need to put key in lock in central position then push and hold lock button and turn to lock position holding button back to central position release button. You then need to also hold unlock button hold it in turn key to unlock position keeping hold back to centre then let go. Then take key out the. Press the remote lock button it should lock. If all doors lock no problem if only done lock then suspect door locks if it doesn't work then suspect rf receiver
 
Hi all

Replaced the batteries in the key fob as when I was going to unlock the car, it would take a few pushes of the button for the LED on the key fob to illuminate and for the car to unlock. It works every time on the lock button though.

After replacing the batteries, it was no better, and infact now has decided not to work at all.

However, I managed to do something, whereby if I put the key in the drivers lock, and turned it clockwise to unlock the car, and held the unlock button in at the same time, the interior lights came on, all doors unlocked, and I could start the car.

I tried key 2, which has never worked since I bought the car with fresh batteries, nothing, tried it in the door lock, nothing, but now the trick with key 1 that unlocked it etc doesnt work :(

Any ideas?
How much are new fobs, and how do I sync them with the car?

Kind regards
Jonathan

If the first of the 5 digits is 4, that is to tell the system that you are about to enter the code. So, 4 times to the left and you should see the indicators flash to let you know that it is ready for the 4 figure code.

G~
 
Have just sent a fob to Mrsporty that had spent the whole British winter lost in a horse paddock. Fingers crossed.
