Freelander 1 UREGNT advise needed

Thanks

I dopped him and email, and currently on knees praying and lighting candles......

Just to clarify, when you say Remove Dash, is this the entire dash or just the binial (Clocks, Display etc) at Drives Steering Wheel?

Thanks again.

Les can only copy a key not build it from scratch. See if he can advise how to solve.

Ok Alex. The immobiliser ECU is behind centre of dash, communicates with the chip in the key, the one that you put in the lock, and is a complete dash removal to get at.

The fob, the thing with 2 buttons on, talks to the CCU and can easily be reprogrammed to match the correct but uncoded or incorrectly coded fob. If you buy a fob and a CCU then they talk to each other and the CCU is behind the inside fuse box. Make sure, if you change the CCU that you get the correct 3 or 5 door one to suit your vehicle.

If you have no actual key to copy, only LR can produce it unless you change the locks and key and then the chip in the key head portion must match the Immob unit.

Good luck !!
Some people call the fob a key and get confused, that is why I have spelt it out !!!

Edited to put the right picture.

That is the fob receiver, nothing to do with coding. See my post above.

Above post amended to show all modules.

He replied very quickly, which bodes well. Recons if i send the door lock and the ECU (he referred to as EWS) he can make a key and code a chip. Even sent me a photo of he EWS so I know what I am looking for.

So still got to remove dash, but that's relatively easier than I had feared.

Thanks all, I will let you know how it goes.

The entire dash has to come out to get to the EWS. It's a pig of a job. The best solution IMHO is to wait for Landrover to supply a new key. My understanding is that they order them precoded to the vehicle so that the new one just works.

So the morel of the story is never have just one key
and lighting candles don’t work

Ah hell. Started taking the dash out, and it's like layers on layers. Sooooo...going to Landrover to order a key........feck it....
