OK... so I parked my truck this weekend (1995 4.0) near my buddies house (about an hour from my house). I get back to it and it gives me an alarm triggered message. No big deal right, perhaps someone may have backed into it or something. No broken glass, nothing missing, no dent, everything was just fine.

Well everything was just fine until I tried to start the truck. Seems that it disables the engine too. That is a great thing, if you have the "clickie" key that will disable this helpful feature, but I trail run and tend to always have a mess going, so I like to leave the easily broken key at home and just use a standard key for the truck.

Needless to say, after this fiasco, I'll leave the clickie inside the truck from now on.

Does anyone know of a way to disable these helpful features?

Are you able to start the engine now? If not, have you tried the EKA (Emergency Key Access) process? That should re-enable the engine.

Clickie Key?? Is that the key fob?? :confused

Back rolling... with some good info -THANKS!

Yes, I was able to restart the vehicle after going all the way home and back to get the Range Rover Remote Key, inserting it into the door, turning it backwards and holding the unluck button for 5 seconds.

It was just a pain in the a$$.

What is the Emergency Key Access (EKA) procedure?
Ahhh... UTFG and RangeRovers.net

"From owner reports to date, this feature seems to be enabled on 1996 and later models in Europe and North America, but not Australia"

But...
Generic EKA Procedure on NAS Range Rovers
The EKA feature does not seem to be enabled on US vehicles, or Australian ones, and is not mentioned in their owners' handbooks. However there does seem to be an abbreviated version of the procedure available on NAS models, intended to be known only by Land Rover dealers and using a generic code for all vehicles. One US owner with a 2000 Range Rover had his vehicle stranded with a dead battery and no remote available, but when jumpering it got the message "Engine Disabled, Press Remote". Since he did not have a remote, he managed to reactivate the vehicle using a variant of the EKA procedure that the dealer confided -- the dealer was fairly sure that almost all NAS P38's have the same EKA code, which is:
Unlock once
lock 5 times,
unlock once,
and then lock 5 times.

Lucky you--mine ended up parked next to a brand new (BMW) Range Rover, it would not start due to alarm / engine disable, I had and was using the remote key, tried EKA, tried the lock / unlock thing, ended up towing it the short distance back to my driveway with my other Range Rover, then it had to be towed 100 miles by flatbed to nearest dealer so they could lighten wallet and "reset" the computer. Now its fine, I stay away from new RR's.
