I use Mobileweld in Havant

Have you checked each cylinder for compression? Did you check the spark at the plugs or the Dissy?

Off topic again. I removed my starter motor last week, the bolts are 8mm allen type. I used the irwin bolt extractor to grip the outside - it was a lot easier than trying to use a key or socket.

And don't forget you have to check the frequency of the fobs as there are two for the single button type.

The alarm ECU is on the right hand side of the fusebox under the steering wheel. There is a coax type plug which is the aerial connection, follow the lead, I think it goes into the A pillar.

Search for "Three Amigos" A well documented problem.

Ooh! Air conditioning in the rear of a D1

It's not the infamous spring is it? If you hold the interior button up whilst opening the door does it work? http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/disco-door-springs-how-101126.html

Have a look at http://www.landyworld.co.uk/discowindows.htm for your window poblem. If you are sure you don't want to get heavy handed with the garage can't your daughter have a quiet word "without you knowing"

Can't help you with your question but what are you doing with your spacers?

Have you got a small red light directly underneath the radio? If so you have remote locking and alarm. Before getting a remote you need to know which frequency it operates on 418mhz or 433mhz. The fob is a single button one. Have a look athttp://www.remotekey.co.uk/cars/Land-Rover/default.asp for all the info you need. If you get a single button fob you can code it youself.

If you have an after market head unit it is probable they aren't connected.

Have a look at the Technical Archive under the manuals section, you should find all you need there. Without going into detail about body changes, the series II disco is a 5 cylinder diesel so you can tell from that.

have a look at http://www.remotekey.co.uk/cars/land-rover/discovery-I-1993/ that explains where it is.

There is an inertia switch in the c/l ECU - http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=73791&st=0&p=631084&hl=+inertia%20+switch&fromsearch=1entry631084

Airbags appeared in 1994 with the intoduction of the 95 Model year 300

I'm not sure if it is series II onwards or whether later 300s are included, but there are yellow connectors under the driver's seat which can get detached. Have a look just in case.

Start by looking below the glovebox for the c/l - alarm unit (directions http://www.remotekey.co.uk/cars/land-rover/discovery-I-1993/). If it is still there take the driver's door card off and look at the c/l actuator and it's connections. Let us know what you find.

It is not unusual fault for the plate to be actually broken. There are plenty of threads about replacing one.

It should have remote locking. Being a '94 it will need a one button fob, have a look at http://www.remotekey.co.uk/cars/land-rover/discovery-I-1993/ for more info. The diff lock can be moved with some not so gentle force if necessary, but if not do a search on here for how to free it off, there are a number of threads about it. Welcome to the wonderful world of Landrover, it's addictive.

That procedure is for a single button fob only. A 98 Disco should have a 2 button fob.

Prise the "Land Rover" badge off and spray some lubricant/WD40 in, it may free it up.

It is an inertia switch in the Alarm/Central locking ECU. It is designed to start the hazards and unlock the doors in the event of a collision. Switching ignition off and back on resets it.

And there's more........ http://www.performancebatteries.co.uk/wizard/Car%20Battery%20Finder/ I used them last month, good prices and next day delivery.

I'd start by looking at the fusible links (if you have them) in the engine bay, they are prone to corrode under the cloth wrapping. The white/orange lead goes to the fuse box for things like radio, wash wipe etc.
