Remote key fob

Just changed the battery in my remote key fob (Discovery TD 5, 03 plate) Still doesnt work. The old battery was definatley flat. Does it need re programming or am I missing something? Manual says just put a new battery in and it should work??!! Thanks.

I seem to remember you have to use the 'lock' button three times to 'align' it.

Or was that the 'unlock' button?

I was told I had a certain number of seconds to swap the battery by the Geezer at LR but maybe it was a myth.. needless to say I didn't hang about.

I don't know if there are similarities between an 03 Disco and a P38 RR, but if they *are* similar, I found this:

On the old ones you were supposed press the button and hold in for ten seconds to get rid of any residual charge and memory so it would reset before the new battery was fitted. Maybe it's still the norm.
