Will that only worked until the next time i needed the keyhad a moment and went out to wiggle the wires in the 'tape cassette' in the back window - the fob is now recognised
That's for the radio. The fob receiver is a little black box.
Thanks honestly not sure.
I did a network integrity test OK, KVM test OK, check all antennas reported no DTC.
Smart key health check had mostly faults. See pic.
The related dtc is "b1b01-87 key transponder" Which tells me to resync the antenna as a new module
But can't keep the voltage above 12.5

They're both security antennas, the one on the liftgate is for the active remote (lock, unlock, etc.) the one above the headlining is for the passive start authorisation. Have a look on the 'active' security D&O pages and it'll show you the antenna and amplifier on the liftgate. To prove it to yourself, unplug the 'cassette' then try and use the remote....
Thanks
Well the fob won't lock or unlock but everything else checks out ok so far so it must be that cassette thing not working? Seems they get water in them.
I also read the keyless start won't work if the cassette doesn't see the key to enable the passive start?

Essentially, yes. the 'active' security needs to signal an unlock as the first level of start authorisation, the antenna above the headlining works on a NFC challenge/response with a rolling code incrementation - the 'passive' bit, passive, because it requires no driver intervention.
I lent my Vogue to my partner today while her Disco 4 was in for service at a local garage. What they found was a surprise! Change the air filter and they found the filter box was completely blocked with a birds' nest, complete with eggs! We'd seen some little birds coming and going through the side grill earlier this year but thought nothing of it! She says the car runs a bit better now with the new filter.
I suspect that my Vogue needs a new thermostat, it's very slow to warm up in this weather and dies eventually reach normal temperature, but I also noticed that when sitting in traffic the temperature drops below normal. It's going in to have the oil cooler changed in January, is it worth changing the stat as well?

Might be a bit more to it than just a stat as I think the stat is electronically controlled on your model year as is the viscous fan. Nothing like adding a bit of complication.

Nothing yet, but using it tonight for the trip to Watford. Visit family tomorrow, then enjoy the stability of his weight on the return in the forecast 20 gusting 45 westerlies on Sunday.
Ours warms pretty quick and the “guess O meter” stays pretty upright all the time.
Suggest you check it.
Maybe you will find a P.O.(dealer) has removed to try and stop the oil cooler leak
.The viscous on this model doesn’t seem to be electronically controlled, but could be seized maybe?
Edit. Oh yes it is controlled electrically I just looked

Otto took us to Watford in steady comfort, averaging according to the computer 56mph and 22.3mpg for 170 miles.
Low screen wash warning as we arrived and intermittent left tail light failure warning so suspect just a loose bulb.

Does yours have an FBH? mine took ages until I fixed mine.
Sounds possible, so far the car hasn't used any water this week, but then it hasn't ventured too far. I usually use a tank full of diesel a week on trips to and from part-time work and going into town. It's booked in on 2 Jan for oil cooler change.
What's an FBH?

@roythebus Fuel Burning Heater, a webasto heater to warm up the coolant a lot quicker, you can preset them to come on before you go out to the motor
