Default 2000 Discovery II p1668 Immobilization Code Help

Hello all! Hopefully you can all help.
I'm a new Owner of a Champagne 2000 Land Rover Disco II. It only has 117,000 miles on it. I've had a Blast with it since I've currently Purchased taking it offroad in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Since I've owned it it Seems this Vehicle has needed a new waterpump, Alternartor, Blower motor Diverter, And almost all of the the Cheap Plastics including the Pesky Back Bumper.
I Started the Vehicle as Usual and began to Drive off While doing some in town errands. The Vehicle Completely Stalled out on me as in everything Shutdown and I was lucky enough to coast into a Jiffy Lube parking lot. I tried to restart the vehicle It Cranks but Doesn't Start. I changed out the Crankshaft Position Sensor. I have Spark. I jumped power to the Fuel Pump and it runs but not getting any volts from the power wire of the wire harness when cranking. I've brought it to Two Nuts and a Bolt here in Savannah Ga and I believe the guy here is a hack. He had me buy a computer I changed it and he is Unable to program the key to it. So I'm moving on. I've put it on a OBD II Sensor at the local parts place and found That I had Codes: P 0560 and P 1668. I believe the 0560 was due to a probable faulty Alternator (maybe), and the From my Understanding P1668 is an Immobilizer code for the BCU (Body Control Unit). I Talked to a Mechanic in Jacksonville who is saying that I can Jump the Buttons on the Solder Joints of the Key Fob that is missing buttons. Haven't Tried this yet but I'll have to Tow the vehicle 2 hours away to get it worked on.
Anyone Have any ideas what it can be or how the Proper way to go about this is?

Did they clear the 1668 code? That should work.

I've seen 1668 pop up when the battery is weak. If it's immobilized your red LED on the dash would be going nuts.

Ok, apologies for the long wait. It was an o2 sensor and a wire in the junction box behind the dash that needed to be spliced. So yeah found top notch mechanic in Jacksonville Florida. British 4x4! Shout out to that guy. He will help guide you on the phone as well. So yeah thank you for your help to the guy who reached out.
