Hi all,
been trouble free for a while but now must ask again!! (too good to last)
My P38 4.0 unlocks on the fob, but the almost straight away relocks itself. putting key in ignition the engine wont crank or anything. Lights come on but no 'engine dissabled' or any other message. Sync mate says 'constant green' all good.

Have asked landrover for my EKA code although the key does still operate locks before they relock themselves. Battery is charged.

any idea's chaps.

thanks.
 
I had this on my '93 classic...one of the rods to the sill button was bent slightly so when it unlocked, it wouldn't go to full travel and had the effect of as if you were pushing the sill button down and would lock itself again....
 
As saint says mibbe a bent or sticky rod.
Try pulling all your door buttons up and down manually and see if any of them feel sticky.
Also try opening and slamming shut both halves of the tailgate.;)

Deffo sounds like a lock that wants to stay closed
 
new drivers latch + get the EKA code you´ll need it sooner or later. Last time i went to LandRover to confirm the EKA code it was done at the counter in 2 min. Just give them the VIN, your registration and write it down...
 
thanks guys great advice.
It would appear to be a sticking tailgate lock. Bit of wd and it freed off. Car now locks and opens fine.
Daft aren't they, these bloomin Rangies?!
