Hi, looking for advice on the above. Just bought a 2004 FL Td4 HSE. Lovely condition, everything works - apart from the slightly fooked powerfold mirrors - not too worried about that though, fix or replace!
BUT there is always a snag isn`t there?. The "security" card is of course missing. Radio/satnav is working so not a huge problem I know but as I wish to fit a hard wired `phone kit the battery may need to be disconnected. Need to have the code for that, over the years I have had cars with missing codes but found then in funny places.....last four numbers of the vin in reverse order etc, sometimes on a sticker on the unit itself!!. any tips on the Land Rover?? or is it a main dealer job, do they charge & if so how much?. I recently had to take my teenage sons Corsa to the Vauxhall MD for a lost code, the service guy just looked it up on his computer and even reset the code himself - free of charge!!.
The locking wheel nut key is present but of course the number isnt, any way of finding out what it might be in case I ever need a replacement??
Finally the car came with two working fobs but only one key, need to get a second one. Last summer I had to get a new transponder key for my other son who also has a Corsa as the key broke in half. I was visisting him down south ( he is in the RN) and I had to get it sorted for him. A local locksmith/motor factor type place supplied two keys coded from the broken one for under £40, am I likely to be this lucky with the LR or will it be MD again??? If it is anything like my B6 Passat it will have to come from Germany, take weeks and cost nearly 200 notes. Can you help or advise guys????
