OK, I know this is one of those problems that happens very often with many and varied symptoms and, seemingly, cures.
My battery died during the recent cold snap and I removed it to put on charge for 2 days (I got flu, it was only supposed to be overnight!).
Now I have the issue that when I reconnected the battery the alarm went off. I could however press the lock button 4/5 times (depending on which advice you read) and the alarm would go off and I can use the remote to open/close the doors and start the car.
Leave the car locked for more than 15-20 mins and the remote no longer works. I presume this is some kind of 'get you home' mode.
Anyway, I'm going to try the advice on this thread tomorrow: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/discovery-2-alarm-problems.250938/
I would just like to meet the idiot who thought that this kind of thing was a good design feature.
On a more serious note, how long can you leave the battery disconnected for before this 'feature' kicks in?
