Right then! Sorry for late response, excuses excuses and all that!
Charged the car battery, thought this would be a good idea given the nature of the problem. (while still connected to the car, am told by Landy indp that this is fine to do)
Hawkeye arrived as said in the twelfth hour but nonetheless grateful for its eventual presence and that of Marcus from Douglass Motors Stanbridge! Who by the way, has been very kind with his time and knowledge as have all of you who responded with nothing but happy and friendly help to offer (Shouters not included!!).
Hawkeye showed that the ECM was "locked" and this also showed as irreversible or non-changeable etc.
Got all of the door locks operating in sync through the BECM. The key was not doing this from the drivers door and as you all know, the fobs were nonresponsive. Luckily none of the micro switches were damaged and once this was done, the key worked the CL perfectly.
We also noticed that the EKA code had been "DISABLED" (no wonder I stood putting the code in for hours to no avail!!)
The long and short is that without a clear culprit for the cause of the problem, we managed to disable the immobiliser altogether thus eradicating this stupid and very inconvenient problem altogether. Some I sure will prefer to keep this feature active on their ladies for various reasons, personally I am a happier man for just using the key!
Thanks aging for your help on this one, I'm taking myself and the missus away on Saturday for its first long journey (with me a the wheel!) so will report on how it bears up!!
I'll be going through it tomorrow with a service as well as replacing the tensioner pulley and belt due to a horrible squeal on idle.
Take care folks, back soon,

Top Job....
The only problem with having the EKA disabled means that if the buttons in the fob or the fobs get damaged, you will noway of starting the car without plugging in the diagnostics to re-mobilise it again - get yourself a Nanocom when funds allow, that way you can do it for yourself when you are either out and about or not in shouting distance of someone...!!
I am sooooo pleased it is back on the road again - it has been a marathon run for you, and I am pleased you stuck with it and kept a humoured and calm head - frustrating as they can be, the Range Rover will be the best car you have ever had....
Well Done - I am made up for you....

No need for fobs any more, I have the backs on them with no betteries in them! Car is purely running on key with alarm still active when locking from the door.

Glad you are up and running.Always a good idea to have a working fob as it is the backup for a failure of the door latch microswitch.By the way you wont have disabled the immobiliser completely,just the passive function of it.
In other words the ECM will still require a code to be transmitted to it from the BECM before it will permit an engine start.
