yes, when i called them a bloke told me they were only a warehouse and didnt do programming so i dunno

Strange because although I haven't used them it has been stated in various forums that the are very helpfull with alarm/fob problems.

I can only say what the bloke on the end of the phone told me

god dam it my two button no LED fob has packed up i tried a new battery but still no luck GRRRR my spare fob works fine so im thinking its the fob thats shot. now if i buy one off ebay or else where (new) then judging by what ive been reading here i cant program this new fob to work on my 1996 300 tdi i will have to go to a main dealer and pay a kings ransome to have it 'programmed' ? is there any way of doing it myself ?

No, but i think you can resync the one you've changed the battery in unless it is shot

its shot now i threw it at the wall

i bought a new one from derbyshire land rover spares (DLS) and the total cost for a new fob and programming it was £35.19

very resonable i thought

JLC main stealers in S London charged me £141,24 back in 1996. It's getting cheaper. They did throw in a battery for my other fob (although it still doesn't work properly).

Also a two button fob dosen't have a LED.

my d2 has a 2 button fob and an led. Mine recently stopped working and it was the receiver in the roof. I had to use the emergency key access code to get in and start it.

I have similar problem - my D2 has two Valeo FOBs with keys - both works to open doors and start the engine (disable the immobiliser), but only one works as a remote to open/close doors. Other one just flushes the LED, but no door opening. Recently I was forced to change the car's battery because old one just run out and - probably - after that the one remote stopped to work. Due to that car is fresh bought I didn't paid attention to the problem when I was buying the car and now don't know what to do.

I have tried resyncing techniques described in this thread, but no luck. Any other suggestions what to do?

Cut from an earlier post...........................

A two button fob requires software to programme it, a single button fob is user programmable.

Damn... It means that I should collect some $$$ to get Nanocom. Maybe here is someone from Latvia who already has Nanocom?
