Hi AA have diagnosed it as needing a new starter motor. Deb

Hi Gary Yes it was me and I don't mind you asking about the keys as you were really helpful during that fiasco. I did send you a private message about how it was sorted out back in January, sorry if you didn't see it. I found someone who would do it in the end and had to trailer the car to...

Thanks for your replies. I will try and check this out tomorrow - I don't really want to take the car into a garage and be charged a fortune if it is something I can perhaps figure out. Just to be clear, when I turn the key I hold it in the turned position and wait for the car to turn...

Hi everyone I hope I can describe this clearly - so here goes. My Freelander (3 door 1.8 petrol Xei hardback 2005) has had a 'lazy' or 'sluggish' starter motor since I got it (compared to how my previous ones sounded). Yesterday I noticed that there was a delay when I turned the key to start...

Thanks Gstuart - unfortunately the company on the SAWDOC link are shut until 15 October and the Norwich locksmith in your other link is currently on holiday. Thanks for the information. Brack - Thanks, there is definitely no EKA for the car TD4van/Irishrover - I wish the people I was...

Hi I have been told that my Freelander apparently has no EKA code. I am currently trying to programme a new key to my car (the one and only original key was lost) and have now been told that because this car doesn't have an EKA code this will probably mean T4 testbook will not be able to...

Hi I have a long running thread in the Freelander section regarding my vehicle as the only key and fob was lost :mad: I have now had a new key cut through the main dealers but obviously it needs programming to the car. There is apparently no EKA code for the car to start in limp mode so I...

Hi GrumpyGel Thanks for your suggestion. If you read post 77 you will see that I have telephoned LR Customer Service on several occasions and their response has been unhelpful (to put it mildly). During one conversation to LR customer services they put me on hold for quite some time...

No unfortunately I am still in the same situation as when I started the thread. I have a key cut from the V5 from the main dealers and a blank fob but the car still needs programming. There is no EKA code available to allow the car to be driven in limp mode and I cannot find anyone who will...

Hi digi I have already purchased the key and fob, thank you

Hi Gary I contacted the details in the link you provided whereby they take calls for garages and get back to you. I am still waiting to hear back from them

Hi Epicuser I rang Sue and Norbert as you suggested but they cannot code keys. Thanks anyway

But of course the car is not going for a pre-booked MOT, it is going to have the key programmed.

Hi thequeenscheese I am sorry, I am not sure what you mean. :confused: Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. I do not want to remap the vehicle and would like to keep the security system in place if possible. I am still trying to find a mobile service who will come to the vehicle and programme the key/fob. I will ring Norbert/Sue, thank you. If I cannot get...

Well, there are a lot of interesting suggestions, thank you. Just to clarify, I was extremely p****d off with the service manager and told him so in no uncertain terms. His response was that LR are complex vehicles and that he had spoken to his senior mechanic who had confirmed the new ECU...

Sorry forget to add that the free collection service offered by the garage is if the car is driveable, which unfortunately mine is not. Thanks for the continuing suggestions

I have contacted Anglia Locksmiths (link in previous post) who are unable to help me. They say it has to go the the main dealer as the key is part coded and needs the barcode which I do not have.

I will look into whether there are any independent Land Rover mechanics locally and what diagnostic equipment they have. What diagnostics do I need please?

Once again many thanks for all replies. I have just got in from work so am reading them now Owl - what is an Indy please?
