    well, we've booked the landie in to a local landie garage on monday for a diagnostic, to check the 5th gear, the dark rumble when we turn the wheel hard (assume this is due to the size of the wheels!!!??) and a general look around. thanks for your help

    Immobiliser fob not working

    Not sure if second fob is coded. I noted the instructions in the handbook about that i.e. using the ignition key. Is that the right thing to do? Will it affect the fob that is working in any way?
