Hmmm, I still think that some kind of physical key needing to be put into the ignition is a far better solution. Keyless saves time opening the car but there is no change in terms of starting up. Far better to have a physical key with just tweaky locking. |

Good luck with your new purchase, always found Bmw stealers to be very good although with a price to match. Enjoy your new motor,its such a pity land rover continue to take customer loyalty for granted whilst offering very little in return. At some point poor after sales and customer service will bite them on the arse Full fat 4.2 Sc

It seems that it's not unusual for people to queue up to give LR support a good kicking. In my experience of 5 (and shortly, 6) Land Rovers on the trot, driving around 35-40,000 miles a year, their support has had some issues but, overall, it's been darn good; certainly leagues ahead of Ford, Citroen and BMW and it's the best I've experienced since starting to do that kind of annual mileage in 1985! These experiences have been good enough to mean that I'm happy to sink eye watering amounts of my own money into a FFRR, confident that they will pick up the pieces with any fair claim.

How odd. A steel box, like a heavy duty biscuit tin, had no effect on suppressing the signal, but a single thickness of aluminium foil blocked the signal completely! Are there any physicists out there that could explain that one for me please? A shall now have to line my new metal strong box with aluminium foil... |

you have spent thousands on your range rover and you want to put the keys in a 'biscuit box''...

It's not so much to do with being skinflint and everything to do with:

Not a physicist, nor is this an explanation of the physics behind it but you get the same if you use chain link fencing on a bigger scale. If you took something like 1 inch square steel mesh, make a cage of 10 foot square, including the roof and base. Sit inside that and try to get a normal transistor radio to work. It doesn't. Unless the biccie tin is made of inch thick lead it is much less effective than a cage, dunno why though, it just is. |

Radio waves pass through steel but not through aluminium. |
