hi my sport wont unlock,with key thob ,think my battery needs replacing how is the best to resolve this, go to Land Rover Dealer ?? year 2007

Does the spare work ?

You could buy a programmer for £60 and a key for £20 which is cheaper than landrover

hi Andy, no both arnt working,,?

where would I buy these from, how much roughly would a dealer charge etc, to cure the problem, im a bit stuck at moment as you may of guessed, my thob is 1 of those they say are sealed from factory, , any help would be great, many thanks

There maybe a wire splice joint (green wire) in the passenger sill that needs redoing or a receiver fault.

This is more likely than a battery fault.

Batteries charge when in the ignition or on an electric tooth brush base

ok ,thanks ill see what I find, and thanks again
regards

does it unlock with the manual key?

I'm not sure early cars activate the central locking from the passenger barrel

Hi all took passenger door cap off.unlocked door .opened bonnet.battery only had 2 volts...put on charge doors open with thob.so battery on charge now... thanks for all replies
Regards

I don't hold out much hope for your battery if it's down to 2 volts,,, maybe it's time for a new one 2010 RRS, TDV8

hi gogsy, the battery is 5 years old,,, i just dont use the sport as much as use to, and also i found out 1 of the front inside lights had been left on ??? id say that made him flat as not been used in at least 2 weeks,

I've put 2 batteries on mine,,, plus the original som3 in total, I think your lucky if you get 4 years out of a battery,, the RR is quite greedy in that dept. I would get a smart charger on it for a couple of days and see if it comes back to life and I would make a habit of charging it at least once a week if your not using it. 2010 RRS, TDV8
