This is the way to reset/disarm immobiliser alarm on most Land Rovers...
The code is recorded on the security information card and is entered as follows:
Using the key, turn the driver's door lock to the UNLOCK position and hold in this position for at least 5 seconds. An audible warning is then emitted to indicate that the body control unit is ready to accept the code. Return the key to the centre position. It is now possible to use the key to enter the separate numerical values of the four digits that make up the EKA code.
Enter the first digit of the code. If the first digit is 4, turn the key to the UNLOCK position 4 times. Ensure the key is fully returned to the centre position after each turn of the key.
Enter the second digit of the code. If the second digit is 3, turn the key to the LOCK position 3 times. Ensure the key is fully returned to the centre position after each turn of the key.
Enter the third digit of the code. If the third digit is 2, turn the key to the UNLOCK position twice. Ensure the key is fully returned to the centre position after each turn of the key.
Enter the fourth digit of the code. If the fourth digit is 1, turn the key to the LOCK position once. Ensure the key is fully returned to the centre position after each turn of the key.
Finally, turn the key to the UNLOCK position and back to the centre position, a double bleep will indicate that the code has been entered correctly. A single bleep indicates that the code has been entered incorrectly.

Then, before opening the door, wait 5 minutes for the alarm and immobiliser to be de-activated. During the 5 minute wait for the alarm and immobiliser to be de-activated, the alarm indicator LED in the instrument pack continues to flash (one flash every 2 seconds). DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OR ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE CAR until the full delay period has elapsed.

When the 5 minute wait has elapsed, the alarm indicator LED stops flashing. Immediately open the door, insert the key in the ignition switch and turn the switch to position II. If the ignition switch is not turned to position II within 30 seconds of the end of the 5 minute wait, the engine is automatically immobilised again.
The EKA code will not be recognised if there is an interval of 10 seconds or more between key turns or if the key is held turned for 5 seconds or more during the procedure.

P.S. EKA Code is 1515
 
Maybe yours:D ... and as you've publicly revealed it you can even unset it ;)

Already reset it thanks...Everything is fine now so could have possibly been the weather...Been terrible down here in sunny Kent...GB. Monsoon type rain and winds, thunder lightning ect..
 
It's not a reset, it's an over-ride of the security system and if your vehicle has a similar system then it's all detailed in the owners handbook.

Just don't lock the vehicle as you will have to enter the code all over again.:(

Better still make sure you have a fob that's 100% and a spare one as a backup.:)

I believe this applies to the Disco 2 and that its different for the Defender TD5, involving turning the key and opening the door, all whilst the alarm sounds. I started to try it to see if I could do it, just in case, and my gf told me to stop. Still dont know if I could do it

:confused: did you read post #1 in this thread though???... the only incorrect thing there is that 1515 thing which for a D2 is completely wrong, you have to introduce your car's EKA
