Hmmmmm.....
Just been looking on RAVE.
The 1999 and 2000/1 handbooks mention the need to do the 4 turns to the left first....and a lockout after 3 failed attempts
The 1997 and the 1999 Electrical Handbooks under the Security section make no mention of this first set of turns.....also mentions that you can have 5 attempts before being locked out for 10minutes...!!!
I think the answer is - Try not to let the battery go flat - replace the RF unit, get a good strong battery fitted, and if your going on hols - unlock the car, disconnect the battery, lock all the doors manually, then use the key to lock the drivers door....on return, unlock the drivers door on the key, reconnect the battery, do a resync by locking and unlocking using the fob buttons and key locking etc (or resync in the ignition as per the relevant year/handbook).....
If you have known battery issues, get a trickle solar charger..!!!

My "lights on" flash as well for every accepted turn - very handy so you know where you are - not easy to see on a sunny day, not that it's a problem here

Or buy a Nanocom.
Landrover don't make aircraft, but if they did.
AIRCRAFT service bulletin. 000/0001
Notice to all Aircraft drivers.
You have three attempts to start number one engine. Three fails will mean igniter circuits out of action for half an hour, you will miss your slot. So to avoid this after two attempts engine access doors must be opened and closed for three more tries. Please note that it has been brought to our attention that in the case of total engine failure over the Atlantic eventually you will hear a large splash. Do not be alarmed it is just your aircraft hitting the sea.

I feel I need to elaborate on my previous statement, I still have to turn 4 times left, but doing four times left then entering EKA kept registering as incorrect entry code and finally locked myself out.
Out of desperation I called the AA, he tried what the handbook said first and it came up as incorrect entry (this was about 45 minutes after I'd activated the 30 minute lockout) and his laptop, using what I believe was AutoData, said to hold in lock for 10 seconds then 4 turns left then the EKA.
That worked first time.
