Got back to my LR2 after leaving it for 5 hours whilst shopping. Pressed the unlock button and it opens no probs, load up shopping onto back seat (boot is full of junk) and then jumped into the driver's seat. Tried to put the keyfob in as per usual, however it wouldn't engage into the slot properly. Tried it again, turned it around, but it wouldn't go in. gf tries and she has the same problem. So, the first problem we have is the car cannot be started.

ah yes, the second key.... I don't have the 2nd key! I bought my car used and it got lost between the previous owner and the dealer - I'm awaiting a new replacement key from the UK at the moment, but it could take a while to reach Dubai |

As my english is not that good I had a look for "scouser" and found out that it refeers to a Liverpool native. So what would a scouser be usefull for in a rain free area? About 20 years ago I accidently locked ud my Prisma while fitting the battery (batteries for diesels were difficult to befound then and in winter we took yhem in the house especcially if they were not new). The only set of key cars were inside the car. Also as I did not manage to find the fuse that was responsible for the car's electric windows (which I later found out were just under the gear's stick cover- logical) I first tried to remove one of the rear windows triangles. Did not succed of course. Then two policemen appered with a chained - what I suppose you name scouser- and were trying to do a remake of the last night burglery that took place at the local pizza place. So I asked them for help and if they would ask him to be so kind and open the car for me. They obliged but he was useless as it seems that they are sort of specialised. Ended up by breaking the plastic cover where my right (left for most of you) mirror would have been and than just used the window button to get it down nd then open the car. Put the parts in place with superglue and reused the system several times.

Do you store the two keys in the same place? Its been reported on here that this can cause problems, somehow they interfere with each other. However keep mine on the same key rack and they have never caused any trouble.

So after leaving the car in the sun for 5 days, I got back to it and it opened first time and started up no problems. Will book it in with the dealer soon to let them have a check, but I'm not sure if they'll find anything wrong.

Yes the key is charged while in slot. I sort of thought LR Assist took your car to the dealers and you locked with the emergency key. So during these five days didn't the dealer have a look at the problem? FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER |
