I was given the code for the radio, which I have used and it works, but not for the engine. I will be picking my car up from MLR tomorrow after more warranty work and will folllow it up again

I had a look at the manual online and it is quite clear...a security code is required if the remote fails by turning the key in a combination lock fashion to crack the security system.

A work colleague with a D2 had this happen yesterday and a call to the original dealer by the Land Rover savvy auto electrician divulged the code. Car started.

What it has to do with ADR's...well that's another acronym dangerous in the wrong hands...what do some of these sales rep retail clowns do apart from robbing us of oxygen?

BTW thanks for the heads-up

I'll say it again

- I rang my dealer 3 days ago and got the security code for when the fob is lost - that would suggest they do exist

, as does the stereo code (which I did get at the time of sale).

Just to close this out - I finally got the codes from the LR service manager. The sales people apparently don't have access on their computer screen to the access codes but the service folk do!
