Puma immobilised. problem solved (Blown fuse)

[POD]

I'm stuck in Warragul with a 2008 Defender that has the immobiliser activated and neither remote will do anything at all. Have tried entering the security code as per the owners manual, nothing. Have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the vehicle battery. Have phoned LR dealer, their solution was to have it towed to them. Hoping to avoid that. Any help would be much appreciated.

Are you near or underneath a service station patio or similar? I have heard stories of immobilised Pumas near service stations and then pushed away a distance then all ok.
(arn't electronics fun)
Good luck

I'm among a group of shops, will have a walk around and see if there are any automatic doors. Having trouble seeing the fun in this at present, so far have twice waited out the half-hour delay between attempts to de-activate. Had much better plans for this afternoon.

Bunnings very helpfully switched off both of their automatic doors for me, still no luck.

Massaro Motors, LONG established LR Dealers are down that way.
They may be able to assist?

Hey pete, just a thought, pull your battery from the remote and replace it. It may be right on the verge of being flat. Sometimes just moving them is enough to make them work.

Massaros have got onto the LR database and given me a security code that is different to the one I have. No luck even with this code, may need to wait another half hour.

Thanks Marcus, tried the remote battery too, got a fresh one from Bunnings but made no difference.
Got my daughter to come and pick me up, will head back to the car when my wife gets home. Feel a bit better after a bite of lunch. 4 hours in Bunnings car park is not my ideal day.
Bloke at Massaros who got the security code for me also gave me the radio security code- which is what I've been entering as the lock code....tried the correct code a few times with no success, perhaps too soon after my last attempt with the wrong code.
Realised after I got home that I should have disconnected the battery before leaving it, might help somehow, clutching at straws really. That was about the only suggestion the bloke at Trivett's (where the previous owner originally bought the vehicle) was able to make. They obviously knew absolutely nothing about the immobiliser system, didn't seem to know that such a thing as a 4-digit disarm code even existed.

Get some help and push the vehicle to another spot and see how you go.

Are you close to a transformer or low hanging overhead power lines? I've heard of a Jaguar doing the same when the OHPL were lower than normal.
