Help us out here Datatec.

I suspect that you have an 83 amp/hour battery. I wonder whether it was from, AA/RAC? Might be OK for a petrol motor.

Diesel owners would not be impressed.

Still think that you have dealt with a symptom rather than a cause.

hi guys
i live in canada, range rovers are great for getting though 3 feet of show.
if the thing starts lol.
i ve read this post and i have similar experiences engine wont start after stopping for gas (petrol) sometimes wont start in the driveway etc
it goes on and on. Its got to the point i don't trust it im afraid to take it out out the driveway.
first off its a 1995 with a 4.0 litre
my remote key (BUTTONS) will not lock or unlock the drivers side door (left side over here) works manually im guessing defective door actuator as part of the problem
when it wont start ive tried the key syn 1515 for north American RR
nothing.Disconnected the battery with key in position 2 that worked once and only once . the land rover dealer wants $215 can dollars or 50 p British pounds lol just for a 2 hour diagnostic check just to tell me what i already suspect.
but besides the door adulator i was thinking about this r/f receiver how can you tell if you have the old style ?
anything else i can check or replace before i head to the dealers to get this all syn-ed up
thanks
