Lock out, No Start & Battery Drain

Hi All

Lock out, No Start & Battery Drain is this all fixed by Part # YWY500170 Modded RF Reciever Module?? thanks


Edit:
I forgot to ask, is this a DIY jobby? if it is anyone know whats involved? and is there a DIY link some place

Thanks all

Yes, it will resolve your problems if your lock out is caused by a flat battery.

Your battery is being drained because your car is being woken up by radio interference.

The new Rf receiver will resolve that.

Its a 30 minute job.

Thanks alfie looks like a simple enough job to do, i will look around and see if i can get one nice and cheap

Just rang a Land Rover Dealer i asked for a discount and he sold it to me for £110 so thats not bad at all cheapest i could find before that was £120, so im happy, will fit it when i get it, thanks for your help

Tony

Have you brought it ?

One on flea bay, may be worth the risk.

Yea i rang them up already, one on ebay now for £90, oh well......i should have looked first

got it in the post today, i might fit it now, but it looks like rain

Blimey what a difference it makes, just putting the alarm on and off, before sometimes when it was bad the "reach" of the alarm was terrible, i was having to put the key fob up against the window sometimes to unlock it, locking the door that was already locked to unlock it!!! the best i ever hope to get was 2m away (if i was lucky), now that i have changed it to the new one i went across the road 10m away and it locked it, i don't know what my maximum distance is yet, for the "reach" of it, but i’m well happy, it took literarily 5 mins to do, take the parcel shelf out fold up the back seat on the drivers side, pop out 5 press studs, and unhook the 3 latches against the window, (or just 1 or 2 and use a stubby Phillips screwdriver) unscrew the 1 screw holing the part down, pull it up at and angle and take out the 2 connectors, put them in the new part, angle the part so the lug goes back in screw it down again, and push the parcel shelf home, 5 push studs back in, parcel shelf back on and the jobs a good’un it took me just 5 mins to do, (I timed it)

Hopefully the reason I changed it has also been sorted out, BMC staying alive most of the night (and day) draining my battery 24/7 and also the lock out when I go to built up arias with people using gadgets with 433 Mhz the old part had a lot wider bandwidth so it would pick up over and under that bandwidth, it now ONLY picks up 433 Mhz

anyone got the link from flea bay, i cant find one on there

many thanks

There was one it went i think for £90 Mat, but not being a trusting sole, its easy to swap your old one put it in the new box with your receipt, and sell it on as the new upgraded one (No part # on it, just on the box) so you end up swapping a naff part for another naff part, spend the extra, ask the dealer for a discount (it cost me £110) and get a part you know will be correct, ok i know there ate a LOT of very honest people selling stuff on Ebay (i’m one of them ) but there are some bad boys out there that would do that, so for the extra £20 you’ll have peace of mind!!

I used a Landy dealer in Nottingham (i Live nr Heathrow) but its the best dealer i have used free postage too, and a lot more helpful than my local dealer (only 1/2 a mile from me) who i don't now use, ring them on 0115 9578000 ASK for the discount, if you don't then you wont get it

Do not buy from eBay, the RF receiver doesn't have part numbers on it and you could be ripped off.

Best thing is to buy from LR directly.
