Thread: Remote key not working

As long as you can unlock it with fob it's ok cos the alarm will be disarmed this way, it seems that the BCU was in "sleep" mode if you woke it up by locking with the key, you can buy new fob from main dealer or some online store and used ones used to be at breakers or ebay... that low action range of the fob can be caused by the roof receiver too if it will be tyhe same with new fob too.

If I need a new fob where would I source one?

Shaun, there are a number of avenues to go down to find a fob, but the one that worked for me was...go to "links ", at the top of the page, then dealers, "internet based ", then " international", open that site, scroll down to "remote key fob replacement" Click on view site, and you get this

Cheaper than local dealers, but that was when the dollar was higher. Bob

Not wanting to hijack this post
But when i try to open my Disco2 with the code that was in the owners folder
its a 4 number code and i put it in using the key in the right order it only beeps once to tell me it has not worked
where would i find out if the one i have is the right code
the card its on is from eurovox
it has a model number
a serial and a code on card

that sounds like the security code for the original radio.my eke is on a specific card marked landrover

Sorry to change the topic my central locking will only unlock the 3 passenger doors and not the drivers door I have to unlock the drivers door with my key. The remote will lock all doors including the drivers door.The remote used to unlock/lock all 4 doors.
Regards Pete

For you there is a simple fix: replace the driver's door latch actuator

Thanks,

One thing to mention. The remote doesn't have to be LR. Lots of other Rover products have the same fob, only without LR written on it.
I got one from the US from a guy who had bought it for an MG which he no longer had.
I just had to check the blade would fit and the fob was the correct frequency. $55 posted.
Any non dealer specialist should program it for you. My guy in Melb did it free while he had the car for something else.
Don't buy a Chinese one. I got two, neither of which worked.
