So, just went out tonight to sort my RRS out for a trip out tomorrow........and nothing, wouldn't open either when in range of the key or using the remotes

Managed to finally get the boot to open and close, but the car will not recognise the smart key, even when placed under the steering column. Called LR assist and was told they couldn't get a technician to me until tomorrow morning . I was offered someone from the AA, but was told that they probably couldn't help and I should wait for a technician.

Anyone got any ideas in the meantime? ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Silly question but i will ask it anyway, have you tried the spare remote Bc
Try disconnecting the battery, then reconnect, see if it reset s itself. Expect a call from tracker if you do though.

Ah, i see you quote remotes, so i assume you've tried the obvious.

Yes, thanks Ady, tried both sets, so something car related not keys

Will wait for LR guy tomorrow. If I get bored in the morning I may try a battery disconnect.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I had this on a vogue loaner last year but it would start with key under steering column - it had to go back to dealer for a replacement module of some sort  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Outside the house, usual and known parking space? Heard of some problems recently (on here I think) where powerlines and noise had blocked the smart key electronics...

Thanks guys, well the LR tech came out and did a reset as Ady recommended and that seems to have solved it.
Guy said they had had a lot of problems like this recently on Evoques, RRs's and FFRR's (he'd done 4 resets yesterday )

Said it may happen again, it may not

So, were back on the road and hopefully a minor glitch, will keep you updated if it happens again.

Hi Beancounter, as I have a MY13.5 HSE Black with the same locking system as yours, can you tell us how the Tech reset the system?, was it just a case of the battery disconnect or was it undertaken though the diagnostic port?

Dave

He disconnected both terminals, then ran a wire between both cables for around 20 seconds.
He then reset the one touch windows as apparently that gets thrown out when a reset/reboot gets done. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Your welcome Bc, pleased you are sorted and thank you for the useful advice, should it happen to others.
