Have you got two ignition switches? why would you want to use them at the same time?

And I was called pedantic recently.
Do not use the same key numbers consecutively!
He says when he clears it it comes back. Don't know what diagnostics he is using though. Are the ultrasonic thingies the most likely culprit?
There are lots of faults that you can clear and they come back. Trick is actually fixing what is causing the fault. Or do some people think a Nanocom somehow repairs a broken wire or bad connection. Internal motion sensor goes tits up yes.

Haha no but after the dealer messing up twice they gave me the new key number 1 to keep as a good will gesture so I keep it as a spare

Sounds like I've gone to the wrong dealer!
The fault code P1667 has been stored for over 6 months and never caused any problems. I have a generic cheap OBD2 scanner that I've used to retrieve this.
I have tried to solve this by a method seen on another forum by putting a test light between the battery -ve and the terminal negative and pulling fuses one by one. Unfortunately every fuse was fine and the test light remained lit.
Before I changed the batteries in the old/working Fob, the system worked fine despite this fault code being present. However, I have never had to sync a key before so maybe this is the issue.
Thanks for the advice on the key numbers, I will keep this key 1 instead of taking it back and ordering another. Neither of my previous/now broken keys had any number stickers on.
Anyway as this error code is linked to low voltage I will try a new battery to see if it cures this. Although now that the led on the key is flashing when you put it in the barrel suggests it's attempting to sync, so progress is hopefully being made!
Less then 24hrs posting on the forum has gotten me far further then 3 weeks dealing with Yeovil LR!! Many thanks

Generic OBDII scanners are as useful as tits on a Mars bar for anything other than a few engine functions on petrol P38s and won't do anything on the diesels.. You need proper diagnostics Nanocom is best.

I'm surprised Mozz smith hasn't jumped in , he's the resync guru. Think he put something on the "how to" section now called technical something or you can try a PM, now called conversations

I'm in for titted Mars bars would at least go someway to justifying the price of them nowadays!
Have sent Yoda aka Mozz a PM. As for the generic scan tool yes they are basic but for the £20 it cost me has more than paid for itself. Out of interest, what would a nanocom scan tool set me back as have been advised more then once that as a P38 owner it's worth getting one!

Put the biggest capacity battery on that will fit, worth checking your alternator output as well.

What's going on with this site now, spurious words and your #33 post is different to the post shown on my #34 reply
Generic OBDII is only usable on the engine systems on a P38. Will not work on any other system. P38s are not apart from limited petrol engine data OBDII compliant, how you have got a alarm fault code out of it i do not know. .

Thankfully got Mozz on the case now.
Seems my local LR dealer doesn't know there arse from their elbow but happy to wrongfully inform me of ways to empty my wallet! Will let you know how it turns out.
