1998 disco immobiliser probs no working key fob

just bought my 1st disco drives fine BUT got it home locked doors, came back out , no go , all lights on dash ,no cranking over..........
HELP ME PLEASE IT'S COLD OUT

Flat battery? and welcome!

the fob is knackered but i've managed to do the door code so now it starts .......... thanks for your assistance
indie.......

mine did this this morning, tried it a few times just a click, left it 5 mins with ignition on and then turned over leaving heater plugs on longer and it fired up.

my fob had come off in my pocket earlier and wouldnt start with a red car light with key inside it flashing, took me a while to figure the fob needs to be near the ignition to start.

gonna get the immobiliser bypassed and get a aftermarket one fitted, with a multilock on the gearbox as well...........

what a big load of bollocks , do you work for landrover then ??
take it to a main dealer i think for about £120 you can have a new fob and get it re sync,ed far easier and be cheaper then fitting a after market peice of ****

No they aren't, but if you have an iffy one because it's been mistreated ie. droped you can have it refurbished by RemoteKey.

Whats a multi-lock on a gear box then

get one off ebay and get it programmed, cost me £25 all in

multi lock is a big padlock that goes round gearlever an locks it in reverse very damn good idea

Hi Nathan, did you get it programmed by supplier or take your new fob to dealer? Guess you just need the code off alarm ECU to get it programmed..
Thanks

Neigh borha as the scotts say, have just sent my original fob off to remotekey for reconditioning.
Cost 40squid hopefully will mean I can use immobiliser and lock unlock via fob when it comes back..
