So I've been away with work for a week and came back to my landy I unlocked it but the boot wouldn't open and the engine wouldn't start, I then couldn't lock it using the fob and locked it using the key, I've sourced some jump cables and went back with my mate to jump start it, but when I unlocked and connected the batteries up the alarm went off and now I can't lock or unlock the car using the fob at all and it won't start, any suggestions, I've looked in the manual and can't find anything.
Disco won't start

I have the code but the vehicle won't accept it I've had a recovery guy out and we both think it's the immobilizer, any suggestions how to get it reprogrammed

You need to find why the fob is not working to unlock the car.
Does the little red light flash on the fob when you press the button?
The instructions for the EKA are written in that attachment I linked to earlier.
May be the fob, fob receiver, or another issue, until you get the car remobilised you are stuffed with any sort of reprogamming.

Then you can try taking the receiver out and seeing if it is corroded and check the earth connections, sometimes If it has got wet it can be saved and brought back to life.
