Disco 2 How do I find/locate my EKA?

Hi all... first post (having done the intro thing on the other section). I'm loving being back in the gang, and enjoying week 1 of my new Discovery 2, '53, Td5 Auto. My question is concerning the EKA. I've seen in various threads that this is the "key" to solving many problems, so to be future-proofed - is there any way to find out what the EKA is on my vehicle? I've checked the documents that came with the vehicle, so whilst I have the radio code, I can't seem to find a record of the EKA. Can this be downloaded from the vehicle via any diagnostic tool, or is it a request back to LR themselves? As a related question, are there any other codes / information that I'll only find out about after I need them?! (that I should make a note of / find out now!)

Many thanks, GJ

Hi,

Have a read here,

also a nanocom can read it and change it if needed.

You are probably better of getting it from your local LR dealer. It should be FOC.

I would have mentioned this in the intro, but you said it was your 2nd Disco, so thought you would have known about it.


Cheers

Thank you neilly, I'll bell LR direct and see how good their filing system is!!!

Good luck, a lot of the time they will not give it over the phone, they need proof of ownership.

Cheers

Yep.. on reflection that makes a lot of sense! Hopefully rolling up in it with the V5, 2 operational keys and no smashed windows may be enough proof... although last time I recall I was asked to park "around the back".... no doubt to avoid lowering the tone of the forecourt....

Also,

If no one else has mentioned it, Make sure to get the RAVE workshop manual download.

Find a friend with proper diagnostics for a D2.


Cheers

Thanks again, I'll search around for the RAVE workshop manual, and rely on the kindness of strangers (or LZ Members!) to point me towards a friend with diagnostics when the problems start!

Rave can be downloaded here.

But FYI, will not work on a Mac.

Quite ironic really.... I thought that as I had just become an LR owner, I'd better generate some balance in my life and get something reliable, that didn't require constant upgrades and maintenance, so I got a MacBook Pro...... never mind...... I'll dig out the old Windows laptop and see if it still works!

Worse case is that you can get the Rave manual in a pdf format, it just does not contain the quick links inside it.

Cheers

Re 2nd time around.... finances and personal circumstances significantly changed since I last owned a D2 - think this time is much more "hands-on" and less visa debit at dealerships / specialists!

I have just bought a Disco 2. Needs some love but so glad I have LZ.
