Thanks for the info Guys, ironically my spare key, which I was told didn't work well from 'mad max' who I brought the car from and has been looked after by my youngest son in case of emergency or if his old duffer of a Dad lost the original, works perfectly!
But I will sync both keys on a nice clear day when I am not in a rush.
Incidentally this is a land rover site and not some health digest, but a quick update on my well being is that I was 'released' from Hospital on the 5th of January and intended spending two weeks of absolute sleep followed by one months total R and R. However 6 days after getting home I got a call from the hospital to tell me that I had TB and that I was infectious! I am now no longer infectious but must take a vast amount of ant-biotics for a further FOUR MONTHS until I am fully free and recovered! **** me, I must have run over a lot of cute little kittens to have racked up so much bad luck.
Bit I am still here and am looking forward to living!
It just goes to show, 2 years and 4 months ago I had never been in a hospital, so enjoy what you got while you got it!
All the best to everyone
