When I took it out the car lock and unlocked itself rapidly and flashed indicator lights. Resolved by disconnecting the battery.
Found out later that van I was park next to was broken into stuff stolen so assume alarm was not false

Thanks Ivan. That is one that was only referenced in one post, in one thread that I read during my searches across the internet.

Unfortunately for me I tried it twice this afternoon with no effect so I will be ordering a new receiver tomorrow.

Thanks again.

New receiver arrived today and after I put it in there is still only intermittent unlocking.

I will order one new fob tomorrow and see what happens after that arrives and is programmed to the vehicle.

Vehicle spent all day at the dealer's. Had to wait when I went to pick it up as it was 'almost finished'.

Key had arrived but did not match the vehicle despite VIN being correct.

I had left both existing keys and remotes with them and they took the key off one remote and swapped it with the new key from the new remote and the new one would not program to the vehicle.

A second new key is being ordered and we are down to one key until they fix our second and the new one arrives.

I received a call from the service department of the dealer on 18 Dec to say that after some trouble they had ordered the correct key for my VIN from the UK and it would be here early January.

Today I received another call to say that they were having real trouble getting LR UK to provide the correct key. He did not say and I did not ask but I believe a second new incorrect key had arrived. He did say that they had resorted to photographing the key alongside my existing key that they still have, and that they had emailed the photos to LRA in an effort to get some traction in resolving the issue with the UK.

He will ring me again once LRA and the UK have spoken about the issue.

My D3 has done it again. Key fob not unlocking. It is stuck in an inner city car park in Brisbane at the hotel I am staying at. I will call RACQ tomorrow. If they can't open it I am going to break a window.

Key won't unlock the passenger's door?

No. It's one of those things I have been meaning to fix

I thought the key in the passengers door was a mechanical thing.

Will it lock with the key?

And did you get the vehicle open?
