..how do you remove a keyfob that's stuck in the ignition ??


(Solutions using air compressors, hammers, chisels etc will be tried at stage 3....... )

Call out land rover assistance, that way you have a loan car whilst they sort it Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

....we don't have LR Assist over here in Denmark.........

My only way home is to hire a Honda Civic from the dealer.........

Isn't Denmark in the EU

If your vehicle is immobilised in Europe and the problem can´t be resolved at the roadside, Land Rover Roadside Assistance will organise and pay for the recovery of your vehicle to the nearest Land Rover dealer/Authorised Repairer.

That will be for the Brit's who have LRA and are driving in the EU

At least Honda Civics are quite nice, Those Triangel Exhaust are pretty good looking too  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Nope, my dealer said LRA dropped of a French car last summer which was collected later by a couple of tourists in a loan car.
Also a local guy's car was assisted when the hunter lost his keys. Guy's car was in the middle of a field and had to wait for 2 hours, LRA helped him out.

All here in Belgium.

He advised to call him (the dealer) first though and he'll give the nesessary advice...

I believe LRA is only for cars still in guarantee though.

Strange that Denmark should be different Here in Norway which is NOT in the EU we do have Land Rover Roadside Assistance as part of the deal on new vehicles and as bjartin mentioned its a good idea to be a NAF member (similar to AA or RAC in the UK) after the warrenty period. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

That happened to me once but when i pressed it to release it the actual key that's inside the fob came out i re inserted the key in the fob that was still in the dash pressed it again and it came out .

Stormsky & rover60, Jimmy has a manual transmission.

The fault must lie here in the middle console, I think. ?
It´s only here and under the seat, the mechanic has been . (As far as I know).

blimy bjartin - you dont have to pull your Freely apart just to prove a point  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I'm afraid I'm familiar with this problem...
1) Just wait, after half an hour (or 2 hours...) the problem will solve with itself.
2) Faster: remove the battery poles and put them together for 10 min. or charge the battery for a while.
Can't give you any guarantee though but -in my case - it helped.
3) cry for help.

If you try to find a phone or garage in the neighbourgood don't forget to close the car - using your key...oops

Good luck

hi all,

thanks for the tips (& it's a manual gearbox ).

They tried the battery disconnect & shorting method - and still the stop/start is dead & the keyfob stuck

It must be a combination of hardware + software problems ??

Maybe the alarm problems I have been having recently (opening the boot sets the alarm off) has something to do with it........perhaps the alarm system has immobilised the stop/start button ???

Nightmare or what............
