Hi all,
Had my MY2010 5.0 Autobiography for a few months now and its been fantastic (moved from a RRS). Anyway, went away for a few weeks and when I went to use the car yesterday I press the remote and nothing happens. Doors wont unlock - dead! I'm guessing the battery is dead. Is this normal after leaving the car unused for a few weeks? Is a call out to LR Assistance the best option?
Thanks.

its a big problem with RR loads have had this problem its the amount of cpu evelectrics etc that it uses. i had it so i bought the biggest battery i could get on my car and if i leave it for a few days i still get the inactive suspension error because the batt is low

pain in the arse to be fair but its the joys of having a RR


you could try the solar panel from maplins that plugs in to help slow the battery drain down

My FFRR can sit for 6-8 weeks without turning a wheel and I have never had a battery problem yet

there you go some have more luck then others

Intersting read, Do you know how you can get into the car when the remote nor the key physically opens the door?

a brick

Viewed a 2011 at the dealer this week - it would not open and battery was completely flat

He removed cover on passenger door and opened with key then reached across and opened all doors  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Got that feature with the door on my 2010 Mdl as i am sure a few others have ...

Same on my RRS

Bit disappointed no keyless entry on vogue - I have it on my RRS HSE  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

It's keyless entry i have ...

Umm are you sure Mick?

I was told that none of the current crop of FFRR's have or ever will have keyless entry. yes we have keyless ignition with the stop start button but not keyless entry.

The reason for this? Well apparently it's because if LR fitted keyless entry to the 2010/11 or 12 models it would mean different locks and therefore a whole new bunch of crash tests
