That was the Barrie the Brick solution. Or Harry Hammer.

Well, yes, that goes without saying but you can handle thousands of volts with low enough amps. You cannot handle many amps no matter whatbthe volts.

It is possible to catch the code from the fob and rebroadcast it. Very few can do it. However, on later models I think it may still need a transponder chip in the key to be picked up by the coil around the ignition. Although I might be mixing that up with an old Astra I had.

Beyond my ken other than Barrie the Brick.

Depends how they did it. It is hard to get all the fluid out the first time unless you flush it. Sometimes fresh fluid shows up wear as it flushes out the material that has been masking the problem. @Bemble is the expert on these boxes. I'd wait and see what he thinks.

No so much the volts but the amps available to launch a 2 ton carvthrough the air are insane. Definitely not a job to take on without the right tools. Moreover, everything is so damn complex these days. I wouldn't be surprised if it needs the impedence matching somewhere and probably dedicated...

Which gearbox has it got? Sometimes a fluid change will show up a developing problem so check the old fluid carefully for debris.

+1 on condenser. Bottom left corner.

Could be the ratio motor. You can take it off and turn yhe triangular shaft by hand a few times and check the plug for corrosion at the same time.

Might have been @300bhp/ton?

If it runs every single press the accumulator, that black ball thing, is getting weak. My guess is the diaphragm inside is distorting from the pressure of the nitrogen gas inside and if left long enough it is pushing fluid out the top of the reservoir. I'd try replacing it. An oil filter wrench...

I wonder if it is losing pressure somehow.

Normal relay in both?

Yeah, I think quite a few on here had mysterious fires shortly after they gave up on the EAS.

Eeeek! https://www.check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk/recall-type/vehicle/make/LAND%20ROVER/model/RANGE%20ROVER/year/1995/recalls

Probably a mistake. Mine had some so I went down the Stealers and it was to do with the factory fitted Warn winch. Well, there was no sign of 1 ever being fitted so they just corrected it.

See my post on BMW. Faraday cage blocks any signal from reaching the key as the signal goes through the cage material rather than the interior. Google for pictures of Nikolai Tesla demonstrating a Faraday cage to show how safe his AC electric was. Might have used his Tesla coil.

What beats me is why it works so far from the car. My mate's Jag has keyless but it only works when you're beside or inside the car. Walk away and it won't start. The bimmer was even more stupid - it tracks the key, not the car. So when he tried to track his car to find out where it had gone it...

My mate's £30k bimmer was stolen off his drive last week. Bloke in a backpack with an aerial sticking out the top walked past his drive at 1 am. The car lights flashed, the bloke looked around and then just climbed in and drove off. Whoever came up with that keyless crap is a dunderhead. If you...

One of my cousins has had one for years. I think she might lease it. She seems very happy with it and it has been reliable but then, it is new. What a second hand one with a few miles on the clock would be like, I don't know. I fear all new cars as being over-complicated and costing a fortune to...
