No as we dont have keyless entry

A quote from JLR...

England 2012 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Santorini Black

Always thought keyless entry/start to be a reduction in security for a small convenience gain. Wonder if it's an option to delete or disable?

That is, in cars where it works as designed, not those in the recall, obviously. Laughing 2020 Defender D200 110S Pangea Green

I only have to press one button on the remote for my MY13 to unlock the car. The car will start if the remote is close enough, like in my pocket.

Apparently with the Disco Sport if another key is programmed to the car, it 'kills' the Disco Sport and a new module is required. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

I had one. An 03 reg silver 5 door 1.4 authentic with A/C as that was an option, you had the authentic with A/C or without listed as seperate models in the range. I think a bought it in 2004, the best looking megane there's been.

Rolling back the years, I rember thinking £7,500 was too much to spend on a car Laughing now I don't get much change from £40k 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Not many new cars on the marker for that price now Laughing

I still remember in 2004 I was leaving 6th year in school and an entry level Full Fat Range Rover cost £44,000 seems a bargain now Shocked

An S model RRS cost approx £35,000

Wish these prices would come back Whistle MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
