I tried the bonnet switch method with no joy. Without using the keyfob I can set the alarm with the key in the drivers door & when I unlock it the using the same method it de-activates the alarm...surely that can't be right? As for the central locking I can hear all the door actuators working but the one in the drivers door doesn't push or pull the actuator even though I can here it doing something. I removed the actuator completely & the only movement is manual I'm wondering if the spring has broken inside the actuator?. AND...Rave & Haynes show ONE pink/brown wire going from the internal fuse box directly to the actuator, mine has a manufacturers connector between the two with NINE wires going to the actuator!! From the chassis loom there is a Pink/Brown wire but it's not live & it doesn't have a mating half in the connector that goes to the actuator... I've not even tried curing the speedo problem yet! All ideas greatly received ..

Brilliant & Informative post Stu...I'll be attempting this tomorrow Cheers mate

Can you tell us if you'v erectified the problem please? I have the same problem & I don't want to double up on the thread.

Have you sorted this problem?....

Did you get this matter sorted Will? Also are you wanting to use the alarm?

Do an internet search for RAVE...it tells you where all the earths are....Happy Browsing

I've had dealings with these guys in the past.....Great service & good rates too!

I replaced the alarm ECU but I still needed to short out pins 1 & 2 before it would start! (Earth to the starter motor) I still have no central locking & no speedo. I'll try the method that you used (tomorrow) & see what happens. I'll try the online method tomorrow & see what happens...I'll keep you posted.

The story so far! I replaced the alarm ECU & Key fob...The speedo & central locking still don't work. There's no voltage getting to the speed sensor on the transfer box. Also there's a limited voltage getting to the central locking. I'll try it again tomorrow, I'm suspecting an earth problem somewhere. When I changed the alarm ECU I had to short out pins 1 & 2 on the white connector (this connects the starter earth) the vehicle will not fire up without this connection even with the ECU changed!....Any ideas?

I forgot to mention that my alternator is giving out the correct voltage & the voltage is staedy & not fluctuating.....Any ideas??

I'm having a similar problem with my disco.....the needles on the dash won't illuminate & the speedo doesn't work. I have checked the sensor on the transfer box & there's no voltyage going to the speedo sensor....

So is that your alarm sorted now Scott?

When you say you couldn't remove the ECU you meant the alarm ECU?......I have a similar problem with my disco...but...wait for it...I unplug the alarm ECU..& the ECM & it starts & runs fine...Work that out!.....I don't have any speedo, central locking, & some of my interior lights aren't working. I am have changed the alarm ECU ..just the same. I am now waiting for an MFU (Multi function Unit) to come & hopefully that will be my miracle cure! I unplugged the cable that goes to the transfer box for the speedo (No voltage, even turning the wheel)..voltage to the interior fusebox but none to the speedo connector on the dash....treble checked all fuses & they are fine.
