My 18 year old son just bought a 2003 Discovery 2 from a towing company and needless to say it didn't come with its transponder key, we have to have a transponder coded and understand the iland system from Atlantic Britsh will do that, we don't want to spend any significant money on the car as we don't know if it will have a good motor or not.
If any members have a system we'd be happy to rent it, we've tried to start it without the imobilliser but to no avail

Thanks, we are based in Pleasanton

You don't need a transponder to start the vehicle.

In fact you don't even need a key.

Remove the steering wheel shroud. Find the back of the ignition stumbler and remove/loosen 2 eyeglass size screws at the black electrical connector. Remove said connector, insert screwdriver in key way and turn to start the vehicle.

 

My son bought a key that works, the engine tries to fire but stops, we were told that the immobilizer kills the spark and the fuel pump, is that not true?

 

 

Yes that would be great, are you in the Bay Area? As you can imagine we can't drive it anywhere, hahahaha

 

 

 

We are in Pleasanton, Nor Cal, I think we are a bit apart!!!!!!!
