You have probably found out by now that there is a keyhole in the passenger side front door handle under the plastic cap for just this situation.

Best likely situation - possibly just a flat battery in the remote that you usually use and the spare (if you haven't used it for a while) may also have a flat battery. The batteries can be replaced but it can be a struggle to break open the remote to do it. Plenty of guides on here and the Disco3 site. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Breaking open the fob to change the battery is a bit of a task so might just be worth popping in to a local garage and asking them to test the fob with a RF detector to see if it is transmitting anything. Most decent garages have these.

If you do have to open the fob then take care not to stab yourself in the process!

Some have resorted to using an oyster shucking glove for protection Rolling with laughter 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE
