Thread: 2008 puma 110 engine immobiliser

Yes there is a way to re-mobilize without the fob. You need the EKA code and you need to know how to enter it.

You mentioned earlier not having your EKA so I guess you know what that is. You need it now it seems.

All the talk about disconnecting battery just does a hard reset of the security system. That means like a reboot. It doesn't mean wiping it and disarming it. After a hard reset the system is operation, car immobilized until fob is operated.

EKA entry is the prescribed means to bypass. You need it.

Maybe, just maybe, if you found someone nearby with a Nanocom Evolution you might be able to bypass, or find out the EKA. But I really haven't tried or read up on that. Just tossing that in the ring.

Batteries change on both fob's, procedure followed - perfect.

Blinkers flash on unlocking now

Thank you for all your replies and help.
Ended up ringing land rover and after proving ownership got the EKA code. But entering it did not help. Then got Davis performance out with the diagnostics machine and disabled the immobiliser and alarm to get it started.
Turns out all of these hassles were due to a blown central locking fuse. Have now got the immobiliser permanently disabled to avoid this again
Milly and I are now both on the move
Thanks guys

I've got a key like this for my tow locking tow bar pin.

Thanks for the heads up on the fuse.

I suspect disabling the immobiliser means you vehicle fails to comply to the ADRs, but then again I doubt it ever gets tested or even if it can be tested.

Reasonably common problem, a broken wire in one of the back door looms will short the central locking, blow the fuse under the driver's seat which prevents the immobiliser de-activating. A very minor issue if you know about the fuse, almost resulted in a tow for me early this year, LR dealer was no help, Aulro search solved the problem. Only discovered the broken wire some time later, easily fixed.
