    IIRC, the starting then stopping a few seconds later is related to the immobilizer.


    It was quite a common complaint when the Puma first came out so I'm surprised a LR dealer wouldn't know about it so maybe it's not related after all.

    My guess also immobilizer but its only a guess. The dealer should be able to fix it.

    Another option, very good people and relatively close to Hervey Bay
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    When the immobiliser is activated, they tend to run then stop after about 1 second rather than 10 seconds. Would be worth checking though, try simply locking and unlocking with the remote button which resets the immobiliser. Also check all the fuses under the driver's seat, if one of the central locking looms has chafed or broken they can blow one of the fuses that powers the immobiliser.

    Something to remember for all guys running remaps...

    ALWAYS restore the original map before taking it to a Land Rover dealer or indy repairer that runs diagnostics able to rewrite the ECU.

    The guys from Bell Auto Services told me that if the diagnostics tries to read and correct an error or fault code, it has a very good chance in scrambling your ECU and it will pretty much be cactus (as in completely fried - need a new blank one $$$$).

    Certainly hope this is not the case with yours mate, but see if you can flash the original map back as per AndyG's suggestion.

    I've religiously flashed the original map back every time anyone other than myself touched my car.

    Cheers,

    Lou

    Could it be a simple case of the batteries in the keyfob need replacing?

    Try disconnecting the battery for 10 mins then connect it again and see how that goes.
