It would need the engine ECU + CCU + fobs from the same car otherwise it won't work without complex programming anyway and IMO if it's about programming a fob is enough after the vehicle was remobilised with EKA code
Wouldn't it be cheaper to go to a wrecker and buy an ECU and key/s and a lock barrel.
I know they are few and far between in Oz but there would be a boatload in the UK.
You may then have the wrong kilos on the car but that should be easily fixed or ignored, seeing that they are old and worth nothing anyway.

Have a look on ebay type in search "wrecking Freelander" thefe at least a dozen on there at the moment.
Merged your 2 thread

RRs, Disco's, 110s & 109s.
Before you go any further why don't you hot wire the starter and do a compression test.
You are no doubt aware that many /most Freelander petrols blew head gaskets.
It probably is not worth going further if that is the case. Oh and look underneath to see if it has a driveshaft.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all your replies. I'm not sure I completely understand the whole "fob" thing, but is it possible to have land rover or someone program a key for this vehicle and send it over?
Also is there a chance that maybe the vehicle is not immobilised at all? All the fuses have been ripped out so next step is probably replace all fuses and see what happens.
We will also either run a compression test or just take the head off and have a look.
Woko - are the liners you referred to the cylinder linings or what?
Not really looking at wrecking it, we are in a remote area so if we can't start it, it'll be getting skull dragged out to the vehicle graveyard and left to rot! I just want it for a bush basher really. I'm definitely not looking to spend much or any money on it.
Thanks,
Luke
It's not possible cos LR cand deliver only blank key eventually give you the code for the blade to be cut by a specialist but the fob must be paired with the CCU on the vehicle...IMO a shop with dedicated key programming tool can synk a new fob for you not necessary main dealer

Hmm well that's definitely outta the question, the nearest town that may have that service (Broome) is over 500kms away!
In this case maybe it's better for you to buy a tool like this http://www.obd2tool.com/goods-3267-S...rsion+V33.html (Freelander 98 is on the coverage list) get yourself fixed then sell it a bit cheaper on ebay or launch yourself in the key programming business and make money with it
