EAK code

hi folks been trying to track down EAK code for my 2.5td p38 was told by local hunter landrover (Inchape) dealer that have to get in touch with Solihull
I did this just to be told I have to pay £50 and go all way up there to be given the code
has anyone had to do this before or could the dealer get it for me

try a different LR main dealer, they should provide it for free if you can prove ownership, based on previous threads

Solihull asked me for V5 vin number and proof who I am
I will do as you suggested @kermit_rr and try a different dealer

I've just emailed Solihull and said can you send it to local dealer he said should be able to get it from them as should be on thier system
I think the bloke at local dealer didn't want to know he was ok till I said I had a 20yr old p38 2.5td

Just go into BECM in diagnostic mode with Nanocom and delete need for EKA and immobiliser.
