Thanks very much for that, its good to know that protection is built in, and of course good sense is a must, see to many clowns going like fools with a bow wave like a destroyer, and the bit about hidden debris is also a good reminder. Thanks again for your reply, as always good advice freely...

G Good Morning and thanks for you reply & the interesting Rover Guide. We've been to Hawes a few times now and normally take the A1 to the A684 and straight into Hawes (coming from E coast). The 684 has a few spots with serious flooding potential; our friends had to wade a bit when they left...

Hi Everyone. Can anybody tell me where the various breather pipes, axles, etc etc terminate on a straight from the factory 2013 D4 3ltr tdv6. Heading up in the Dales over Christmas and the main road A1 to Hawes is prone to flooding with heavy rain. As the wading depth is given as 700mm can I...

Good morning gstuart. Feel obliged to update you, went to the indi yesterday, the keys were accepted by the car, so that was a relief. In the time we were chatting the workshop manager came across as Very knowledgeable; I mentioned the garage that installed my tow bar were "waiting" for a LR...

I cannot say how much I appreciate the help and advice you provide. I am so sceptical these days, with all the rip off's you hear / read about. It is a local firm (Independent Dealership) and he sounded genuine enough, the key is from Landrover and I guess the cut one will be as well, ker-ching...

Many thanks for the great reply, the manager has ordered a replacement ECU as he said "if we don't need it we won't fit it" as I wrote earlier apparently there are ecu's that will not accept any keys once the original has been deleted. I am always sceptical but without the knowledge or equipment...

Hi Again. Thanks for your reply, it isn't the key I am concerned about, that is already ordered. The workshop manager said the ECU for the locking system would have to be replaced if it won't accept any key's other than the originals. Seemingly "older versions" of the ECU were one vehicle only...

Hi All, I recently lost a bag and with it went one of the car key fobs. A new key is on order but I have been told that if the new key will not "talk' to the ECU it is because it is an older version and will not accept any new key, a new one is required £200+. I have seen on other posts here...

Not a problem, after 35yrs in the offshore diving industry, you need thick skin. :rolleyes:

No e-bay stuff, it will be a LR genuine replacement & and all done correctly, but I'll certainly quiz them. Thanks for your concern, Mick

Now you have me worried, he was talking through everything so I did "assume" ..........but we all understand it makes an Ass out of U and Me. Again thank you. Mick

Sure, I'm fairly certain the "lost" key was No. 1 & am now using No. 2 which was the "spare". They are an independent dealership (not sure that makes any difference) and they quoted £160 + vat. Half expected it as my wife had to cough up £200 a few years ago for one. Oh the joys eh. I changed...

Hi again. thank you for all your reply's and sympathy approach, Thor seemed to be under the impression I threw the key into a river or some other stupid thing. We were on a train which was delayed so missing a connection; in the hassle I forgot my shoulder bag complete with keys as the car was...

Ah! now that does sound fairly simple, and I'm sure any potential thief would want to be in and gone instantly, good overnight one, I'll double check in the book. Thanks very much for that advice. Mick

No problem, thanks for your reply, everybody so helpful on here.

Thanks, it is 8 speed 3ltr 2013, with the normal 4 button fob.

Not sure I'd manage that, not very tall and getting near 70, was hoping for something easier, wouldn't that throw all the systems out ??

Hi All, I lost a bag last week with the key fob & louse key attached. Does anyone know if there is a fuse (or some other wizardry) that when removed will prevent starting and driven away, despite having been opened as normal. Have been told new key could be 4 - 6 weeks, have already changed...

Hi, many thanks for the very detailed reply, the only bit worrying me it the lock barrel. I have seen a "U tube video of the same task on a Disc 4 but no mention of it, mine has the emergency key entry on the front passenger door handle but I guess / hope that is not what you are referring to...
