Both fobs not working !!!

My sport is 9 months old and tonight I had to manually unlock the door and place the fob next to the steering coloum to start it , tried spare key . Exactly the same , any ideas? Or is it trip to dealer no 3?

Batteries are critical, must be new and sealed replacement, no moisture by touching battery either.
Testing by putting a known working fob battery in to test, doesn't work, or clear fault, I'm afraid, it must be decent new one. Smile John

Batteries are fine . Both fobs not working , used genuine Panasonic batteries , I think it must be the keyless module
Car had to have it updated a few months ago due to battery going flat
A few months before it needed an update to put out the engine management light for ad blue poor quality fault code
Come on landrover . I bought this after I rejected a discovery sport for rattles and squeaks
3 trips to dealer in 9 months and it's let me down 3 times
Anyone on here from landrover want to talk to me
My dealer is excellent( pentland cupar )and sorts out hire cars and delivers it back when fixed but spending loads of hard earned cash to have an unreliable car is just not on

Both keys should be with the car when it goes in for service, part of the service is to check they both work and to update if not 100%

Thanks , I take it it's been fine since?
What module was it? Was it the keyless module?
