L550 · PHEV coveredDiscovery 4 owners often see the air suspension or terrain response throw faults when a battery has been disconnected — this can mimic a key fault. We diagnose properly so you don't pay for unnecessary key work.
Diagnose firstMost cost-effective fix when a KVM fails — adapt a known-good used unit from a breaker rather than buy new from the dealer. Saves typically £1,200+ versus dealer-supplied unit + coding. Same end result.

Discovery 4 (L319) pre-2013 vs post-2013, Discovery 5 (L462), or Discovery Sport (L550) — each follows a different key procedure. We confirm exactly which one you have before bringing the right fob.
Read the existing KVM module (where fitted) and confirm immobiliser state. For all-keys-lost jobs we extract the cryptographic credentials needed to programme new keys.
New fob programmed, paired, and verified — you watch the car unlock, start, and lock with the new key before we leave. Any lost keys are disabled at the same time.
Mobile key programming covers most modern marques and immobiliser systems. These are the makes we programme keys for most often:

Lost the only key to my Disco 4 — main dealer wanted £650 and three weeks. DashTech: £390 on the driveway in 100 minutes. Programmed a brand new key, disabled the lost one. Brilliant.
