You wouldn’t say that if you saw the rest of it 😂 … when we first moved here, I could actually fit a car in it. No chance now! But yes, it’s nice to clean it up and have a sort out every now and then. TBH, I got all the tool chests 2nd hand off...

Paint them with bed liner paint, raptor or similar products are on the market. :)

If you can get your ‘spare’ fob working, then someone with SDD can definitely program a ‘blank’ new key bought from Amazon or similar for not-a-lot of money relatively speaking (and I know an Autel dongle has also been used to program a key by a...

Does the spare still have its hidden key in the fob if so, pull the cap off the passengers door and open the car, then see if it starts the car.

About the same as saying President Donald Trump is a renown economist ?

Definitely a nice little project. If I were more mechanically minded, I’d be up for it!

Exactly, although I called it a "special wiring adapter" to not give away the secret on an open forum. It does require "suitable" diagnostics (I presume yours has the required functions)

sending off the ECU for repair seems an expensive hassle without testing the K line wire first.

It’s not AG, so I won’t 😉

Painted........

… and I tidied up my ‘go to’ basic car tool corner in the garage 🤩 I give it 3 months till I can’t find anything again

Shiny bit fitted, so RH mount and insulator is now fully replaced. I’m sure there is still a very faint ‘wobble’ / ‘oscillation’ coming through in 1st and 2nd, in the higher revs, but only under hard acceleration (so high revs but low ish...

oh and I have an invitation from one of the clubs to join them at Pride of Longbridge this Saturday, assuming that the marshals even let me in a Landrover (it's doubtful). Anyway if I can get in then I'll be at PoL this Saturday with 1.8 auto.
