Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / March 2006RRC battery
Evening all, Just a quick one, I don't have access to a RR manual at the moment, so i hope someone can advise. The battery on the Rangie is on it's last legs. Is it a straightforward change or is it different because it has a factory alarm / immob. Is it one of these open door / lock door / face east / stand on one leg and change battery within 2nanoseconds job, or do i just swap em?

Can't hurt. If it fails, I'll probably hear it.

You're damn right you'll hear it, i'll be knocking on your door!! Dave by the way, i'm just about to send you a pic which pretty much sums up how bad a weekend i had trialling!

You'd have been better in one of them fancy Italian boats than a Rangie. Hope the headlights dry out in time for the next one.

Dave >by the way, i'm just about to send you a pic which pretty much sums up >how bad a weekend i had trialling! hey, no fair. Put it on the web so we can all see :-) SignatureAustin Shackles. www.ddol-las.net my opinions are just that In Touch: Get in touch with yourself by touching yourself. If somebody is watching, stop touching yourself. from the Little Book of Complete B***ocks by Alistair Beaton. Tell me how and I will, i'm not ashamed! > Evening all, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Dave I've disconnected the battery quite a few times lately whilst welding and also to fit a new battery over Christmas and all I've had to do is click the key fob 4 times to get it to arm once it's reconnected and then click once to disarm and then everything works as usual. Go for it! (RRC Tdi) HTH Martin. > > Evening all, > > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > HTH Martin. Excellent, my key fob is not working either now, so I am guessing that I can just open and shut the door with the key after that ? > > > Evening all, > > > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Excellent, my key fob is not working either now, so I am guessing that > I can just open and shut the door with the key after that ? That's just marvellous isn't it, are these things all wired differently or what? Only time I've had trouble with fob is when batteries go flat, then before I put new ones in I've had to keep it pressed without batteries for 10 seconds to reset fob and then refit new batteries, says this in owners manual! Maybe someone else knows better though?

I took this opportunity to change the battery and because it was a.) raining b.) dark c.) a pain in the arse i forgot all about the AFL thread and just disconnected the battery. No probs, mind you, I haven't tried to use the fob for a while so that will be my next project! |
