Unhappy Discovery

...

THE other day the keyless entry on my Land Rover Discovery Series II TD5 jammed. The dealer asked if I was near a mobile-phone tower or shopping centre, I was near the latter. After going through a complicated process to reboot the system I was able to drive off. Is this a common problem in other makes or peculiar to this model?

A LAND Rover spokesman told us this situation does occasionally happen, however it's very rare and doesn't only affect Land Rovers, but all vehicles with keyless entry. Mobile-phone towers, airports and shopping centres can cause interference. In 2000 Land Rover changed the frequency of its keyless entry systems, reducing the risk of any interference. They advise that you should speak to your Land Rover dealer to see if it's possible to change the frequency of your system.
