Hey folks,
When I bought my defender, it didn't come with it's log book or it's service book. The chap I bought it from is trying to find it in his house! I have read that there is a security code on the security section of the hand book that should outline the alarm code. What's the story, when do I need the code? I was wanting to establish what I do or don't do before and after disconnecting the battery. 2001, 110, CSW. Thanks in advance folks. Cheers Andy |

The security code is a manual way of overriding the alarm in the event of a key fob failure. It involves turning the ignition on and off to enter a four digit code and opening and closing the drivers door. Should only need it if you lose the fob. Should be fine to remove the battery

I bought mine from an independent dealer in Hampshire in March. They didn't get the service book etc from the previous owner so I didn't get the code either. I went to see them a couple of weeks ago and mentioned this. They phone Land Rover and got the code straight away with no problems. A local independent or main dealer might be able to help, but I guess you'd need to prove ownership first.

Hi pete,
Thanks for your mail though, it's much appreciated being able to ask knowledgable people for advice.. Today I took the landy to paint shop for estimate to touch up and pain the bodywork (once I replace the doors and bonnet), they really didn't give the impression the wanted to do the work. Just seemed to point out problem after problem (where do you stop). I know when people don't want to do something and I felt that's what I was being told today. A shame as I do want to sort some of the problems and smarten up the paintwork....... I guess I could try further afield than Aberdeen (where it's normally 25% more expensive then everywhere else  )
Cheers Andy |
