Key Fob -

This has probably been asked over a million times but I will play the fool if it gets me anywhere with an answer. I purchased my '97 Disco while in Europe and have had it with me since new. I now in Canada and down to one key fob. I asked the local Landy (Ottawa, Canada) dealer about programming a new one (or two if that is what it takes, as long as I have two), but they came back with an answer that one fob would cost 371 Canadian $ (271 Euro). And they said they could not guarantee it would work - so I'd be out the $ if I tried that route. They even stated that a Diesel Landy (which I own and am probably one of 4 on the North American continent that does) has a different fob wavelength than a Petrol Landy). There has to be a cheaper & smarter way of going about this. Any ideas so I can sleep better at night? thanks

change the unit or bypass the imobiliser

could you explain "change the unit"? I am an architect, not a mechanic, and wan to ensure I can handle this on my own or am not being ripped off if someone else does it for me.

as far as I'm aware the alarm ecu frequency is your issue ebay and a scrap one with fobs would be first point of call- dealer should be able to give part number for your region frequency

OR

you can bypass starter inhibit and fuel stop solenoid as the inhibit on a disco isn't great
also spider bypass
