Defender Puma 2.2 - voice your issues

By way of over communicating because I am sure the choir has read the song sheet....(I.e. Have R(ead)TFM ) and enjoy being preached at:

The key fob, PLIP, remote control bit, serves two purposes.
1. Locks and unlocks the door (arming & disarming immobilizer and alarm as well) as you may have worked out already.

2. It keeps the immobilizer out of play when the key is in the ignition. It has a separate passive radio freq transmit and receive board which is powered inductively by a coil that is in place around the ignition switch. When the PLIP and ignition switch are in close proximity it does its job.

See how far you get if you take it off the key ring and toss it on the back seat.

It is your car you really should be supplied with all the info to start the darn thing when you need to. I was down in Brisbane and took my keys out my pocket 1,700 odd km from home and there was only my key not my fob :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I honestly think my heart missed a beat. I retraced my steps and found my fob so all was good, but I need my EKA code.

I am on chapter 23 of my quest to get my EKA. Most recent action (last week) was to get the 10AS (security module) serial number physically off the unit - send to LR UK and they will refer to Lucas to get the EKA and pass to me. Might take another week or so...

Perhaps we should start a Group Action, to force them to supply us what is legally ours. I remember asking for the code at my vehicles initial service. I was told "Oh you don't need that." Well clearly I do. If I remember correctly, The Dealer was meant to supply it when he handed over the keys.

We need to make a stink if we cant get the code easily. Recently in Belmont at a shooting comp with 400 shooters on a very very busy range I took my keys out my pocket and my key was there but not the fob :eek::eek::eek::eek:. My heart missed a beat.. I retraced my steps and after maybe half an hour of terror I found my fob. The code is mine, I paid 57,000 dollars for my Defender I want the code to start it if I loose my fob, also what happens if the fob dies?

The team came second by a few points a jammed rifle cost us the win very annoying, but the team that came third was miles behind and forth was miles behind again. The team that won had 4 out of 5 members of the winning world championship team on it shooting on their home range so we were happy. They cant all nominate for the worlds this time so we have been told to nominate and only myself and my missus are free to go so I am hopeful to be on the worlds team in 2017, fingers crossed!!
In the individuals against the best I came 8th, not bad out of 40. I had issues with my barrel giving elevation so I could have done better, but 8th out of the best in Aus I can live with :D
I am mates with the guy who won I told him I will get him next time :D

Well I suppose congratulations are in order. Well done. Good luck in the Worlds.
Cheers, Billy.

Great stuff!! All the best for the worlds!.

Thanks guys :D,
I am not in the worlds team yet though, but I do have a very good chance, fingers crossed.

in 2 years of ownership our 110 has had the following done under warranty.
1 - transfer case
2 - output shaft
3 - intercooler hose
4 - airflow meter
5 - power steer line
6 - power steer box.

and is currently back at landrover because it has gone into limp mode again (sensor, hose? who knows.)

The diff moans backing off from 100. Has done this since new. Apparently landrover reckons they cant hear it? Has done this since new.
I mean i love the car, but i just wished it worked all the time, since the missus drive the kids to school in the thing. Yes we use it offroad, but dont they advertise the fact.
