Immobilised TD5

I recently bought a 110 TD5 and have just put a new gearbox in it. It now seems to be immobilised (the battery was disconnected). The dealer I bought it from is going to get the code from LR, but can some kind soul tell me what to do with the code - the vehicle came with no users manual or other documentation.

I can download all kinds of user manuals and LR workshop manuals from

for free, but not the TD5 user manual (or workshop manual for that matter)

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the link, I can find what I need, but when i click on the owners manual link it simply loads the same page (the one with the list of manuals available).

Perhaps the site is mac-hostile?

No, turns out it's idiot-hostile, my browser was blocking popups. Thanks again for the link

Ho hum, not doing too well here - the owners manuals appear to be there, but when you get a pdf they only contain the contents pages - is there a way to get the full manual?

It's all available - at least it is using Firefox and XP. When I load the page I get a split window with the index on the left and the content on the right. What you actually want is this ( it's for '99 models)

Engine immobilisation override

If the handset is lost or fails to operate, engine immobilisation can be overridden by using the starter key to enter the four digit emergency key access code (this code is recorded on the Security Information card). The procedure for entering the code is described below.

Before entering the code, note the following: If your handset is lost or inoperative, it is impossible to disarm the alarm. As soon as the door is opened, the alarm will sound continuously for up to three 30 second periods), and continue while the code is being entered. Remove the handset from the key ring and keep the handset well away from the starter switch when entering the code.

  1. With the driver?s door closed, insert the key into the starter switch, turn to position ?II? and hold in this position for 5 seconds. Then switch off, and open and close the driver?s door.

  1. Turn the switch to position ?II? the required number of times to enter the first digit of the code (if the first digit is 4, turn the key to position ?II? and then back to ?0? four times).

  2. Open the driver?s door (to enter the first digit) and then close the door again.

  1. Turn the starter switch to position ?II? and back to ?0? the required number of times to enter the SECOND digit of the code.

  2. Open the driver?s door (to enter the second digit) and then close the door again.

  1. Turn the starter switch to position ?II? and back to ?0? the required number of times to enter the THIRD digit of the code.

  2. Open the driver?s door (to enter the third digit) and then close the door again.

  1. Turn the starter switch to position ?II? and back to ?0? the required number of times to enter the FOURTH digit of the code.

  2. Finally, OPEN and CLOSE the driver?s door. If the code has been entered correctly, the anti-theft indicator light will extinguish and the engine can be started.
