back again, hopefully for the lasy time in regards to my almost well behaved range rover p38 diesel.
After a cold night and a well used battery the rangey had decided to go into anti theft mode (confirmed by diagnostics). although cranking it was not starting.
I was asked if i had key 1 to do the emergency key access (is it possible to do it with key 2?) I had misplaced key 1 and when was eventually found it appeared to have gone through the wash. with new batteries the key fob light stays on constantly.
with key 2 the engine was cranking but not starting and with key 1 the dashboard said 'engine disabled' and did not crank. I have tried the emergency key access code with the key 1 and will now crank but no start.
will i need diagnostics to clear the anti theft device codes?
when this issue is sorted it can be sold.
any tips, much appreciated.
