you need a code for the stereo which should be on a the stereo manual in with the main manual in the glovebox. its a usually a 4 didgit code, sometimes it might be written on the stereo if its happened before, if not landrover dealership will sort it.

First of all,even though you may see sparks, you won't get a shock. Disconnect the black smaller diameter post side first then the positive red larger post if a top post style battery. If a side post you still do the negative black cable first. With the side post style make sure you remove the corrosion from between the cable and hold down bolt on the red positive lead. You should always connect the positive red lead first and then the black negative lead last. If you jump a tool between the battery posts you will cause a spark and what ever metal object made the contact will become very hot and may cause the battery to explode if left in contact too long. I hope you are aware of the acid in the battery fluid it seems some people are still naive when it comes to the dangers of battery replacement or maintenance.

Any Land Rover dealer should be able to give you the code to enter on the radio to activate it again. They shouldn't charge you for this.

A good car audio store will overcome the problems associated with inputting new codes into your stereo. Similar to 'unlocking' mobile phones.

There is a code to input written in stereo hand book prob at back. If you ask any dealer they can look it up on computer for you anyway

both of these people are right, there should be a code similar to an immobiliser, this is an anti theft device.
go to your local dealership or audio centre like halfords and they should be able to fix the problem for you no worries.
