  1. Headliner out to recover, leaks to fix and dodgy wiring due to damp. Sunroof, roof rails to re seal. One sunroof drain snapped off explaining most of the water! have ordered repair parts. I notice gaps under the sunroof frames to roof panel, I could simply mask and PU seal around each frame but wonder if I slacked all the mounting bolts can I pry the fame up a little to squeeze sealer under it before tightening back down? Thanks.
  2. Land rover customer care were happy to help directly with proof of ownership e-mailed to them. I had it very quickly and they could not have been more helpful on the phone. The issue with this is until it was unlocked/disarmed the Hawkeye could not even be plugged in! I have left it as LR...as said useful to know it is on their records too!
  3. I need to try a remote receiver in the truck, I notice some are part YWY000080 and others have YWY100440 both same frequency. Anyone know if they are interchangeable?
  4. great thanks, its done. No alarm, no passive immobiliser. Running. Onto the issue. It has lost its remote function on the keys. Cheapest to start with the receiver I guess, especially as Hawkeye communicates with the BCU fine too. Are all the receivers for Disco 2 the same? How much headliner do I need to hang down to get to it? Finally if I plug another receiver in will that restore remote locking if it was the fault even though alarm and immobiliser are now disabled until sorted. Your help has been very much appreciated indeed. Thanks.
  5. OK, so things are improving! I got the EKA from LR and have got it started and moved...woohoo! I then was getting Hawkeye to turn off the immobiliser but a neighbour turned up for a chat and it activated itself again so wont start haha. I will need to go through the EKA palava yet again and be quicker to turn off the immobilser. What about the alarm? can that be turned off or does it only turn on with the plip? It seems like maybe it is the rf receiver, it would not plip on the key when I tested it quickly after turning off the engine.
  6. thanks, got it! priceless even the code given is a riddle! no idea if it will work but it may at least enable me to get in the garage if it starts it haha
  7. This relates to my other post of a stranded TD5. I have the EKA code and the handbook gives lovely instructions of how to enter it using the key, but using numbers/digits. My code has three letters and a number. What numbers do I use? I thought it worth a try, it may work to turn off the immobiliser and help diagnose the fault.
  8. Going to try and get a little time off work today and look at the BCU for wet....does the glove box have any tricks to removal or will it be self evident when I get to it. I may pull the fuse box too the other side, though it is only the key remote not working so it does seem more like a fault than water ingress to a fuse box or ECU which is likely to interfere with more than one function. It may still be the roof RF receiver I guess totally coincidental to the water leak starting in the front, I will try and find a used one and change it over. Are all the receivers the same in Disco 2? I have looked and see they have different numbers on them. I do not want to buy the wrong one but was intending to get one before pulling the headliner/trims out.
  9. new batteries fitted in both to check I have not been silly....no go. thanks anyway, surprising how often the obvious can be overlooked.
  10. haha! so still need to get to the problem to get hawkeye on it. Ta
  11. ah, this is getting promising. My Hawkeye is quite old and not the latest updates. I may even have EKA code but if not will get it. Re batteries in fobs, I did wonder but it would be odd for both to die at the same time and no warning of them going bad with short range etc. The red light comes on with both keys.
  12. OK, sorry for being a bit dim! better with 40 year old cars plus! Just checked, the key is working both way...it seems to be in the setting that takes 1, 2 and 3 turns so do drivers, passengers then boot. It locks it unlocks. If I unlock and open a door alarms goes off, if I shut door and use key it stops alarm. If i lock car on key with bonnet open it pips on horns telling me it has an open door/bonnet. So it does seem it all works except the remote from the keys. Switch in door seems good both ways but could be any of the other three things!
  13. Thanks sierrafery, your time and expertise is very much appreciated. I understand..yes the RF unit should not be the culprit then. I will double check once more but am sure yesterday the key will not unlock the locks centrally, just the drivers one. But if I manually unlock them all it will then lock them all which I assume points to the micro switch in the drivers lock being ok too.
  14. Thanks again. I do not want to go running into this making assumptions often wrong! As I understand it, the issue seems to be my remote keys are suddenly not disarming the alarm and immobiliser. It seems this could be one of three things and maybe an odd one of two wires in the main under bonnet fuse box which I doubt. 1) It could be a coincidence and nothing to do with the leak....the RF receiver died in the roof near rear sunroof? If this is replaced I think it is plug and play other than later reprogramming to desired options? am I correct....it may be a change to illiminate it as an issue. 2) Under dash fuse box got wet although water is not in footwell on drivers side. This can be removed, opened up and checked. If it is obviously wet/corroded I can simply plug a replacement in? 3) Highly likely given where water has got in is the BCU, behind glove box. This can be replaced or perhaps repaired..if repaired it would be plug and play again. This too I should remove to inspect to see if its wet. Does it open up to inspect the pcb inside? I did an Audi comfort control ECU, opened up, dried it all out, and sorted which was lucky. Same problem, leaky drains into footwell and the designer sited this ECU in a pressed well of footwell!!! Finally, is there a good guide to removing the headliner? I think its fairly obvious but it may help know how various trims are fixed to prevent any damage pulling in the wrong place..
  15. Thanks again, I think you may be correct. BCU....it seems to fit. I could try the dry it out on the boiler trick....hehe. I t worked on an Audi ECU that filled up with water!! Is there any way to get the car started with a duff BCU...unplug/then reconnect battery or similar? not worried if windows etc dont work but I can move it away from where it is then and set fire to it away from my garage/workshop LOL
  16. ok thanks, I will look at BCU. If changed does it need coding or anything or is it plug and play?
  17. Sierrafery, thanks. I am not quite understanding all you say. However lets try and place the issue. The micro switch in the drivers door I did think on, I think it may be ok. If I put the battery back on, the alarm sounds immediately but I can stop it by using the key in the drivers lock. However, having done that the plipper does not work. Open a door and off goes the alarm again.did try starting the car in case it was not immobilised but it is. The water leak, pretty big very suddenly, 2 buckets! one on console one on passenger footwell....which is very very wet. The water is finding its way to passenger side and gearstick area. Drivers side seems dry other than lots of condensation on screen due to damp in the car. After unlocking with the key neither fob works...I went to get the unused spare in case it was a duff key fob. I t is this symptom it has had for 12 years, goes to sleep overnight until woken up by key unlock and a plip before opening the door.
  18. touched the pos and neg together, just the dame Blanco. Disco Kev, I will look but on the basis the alarm wakes the neighbours up the battery/cables to fuse box would seem fine. Thanks, but I errr on water somewhere given the roof leak that started recently.
  19. Went to the Truck today, it was last used Thursday no problem. For the 12 years of ownership it has always had this thing with the alarm, if left for overnight or more it would not plip on the key, unlock and lock on the key THEN plip it to turn alarm/immobiliser off. It would then be fine on plipper for locks, alarm etc until left for a longish period again. Today the key would not operate the central locking, the alarm goes off all the time, it is immobilsed and wont start. I can unlock all doors by hand inside and lock them centrally from drivers door but they do not unlock again centrally. I have tried the spare key..same issue. I have taken the batteyr off and reconnected....same issue. It is currently stranded behind my garage doors 😖. Any ideas as to what it could be, any way to disconnect the whole thing manually? It has recently sprung a big leak on the front sunroof.....if that points to anything where water may have stuffed something. I have a hawkeye...not the latest software on it though, horrible feeling it may not do alarm/immobilser? Thanks for any help in at least getting it running.
  20. Hi thanks Griff, that helps. I will need to drop the headliner anyway in due course but weather not really good for that over the next few months! I assume the drain hole in the sunroof tray cant be accessed with the sunroof open from the top as with the car? Do I need to remove anything to get access to the drain hose under the A pillar?
  21. I have a car where the sunroof drain blocks and I clear it out...I cant find the drains on this roof. Could somebody point me to where they are with the manual roof open and slid back so I can poke it and perhaps puff some air down it. On the car i use an old speedo cable inner drive which is nice and bendy and clears it. It is so bad now there are two buckets in the car! mind you noah will be building his ark as we head for 40 days and nights of rain ;0)
  22. My headliner is overdue a refurb...that will be on next springs joblist. However, following the hot dry summer the roof has decided to leak badly! The front sunroof I suspect the culprit.....gets wet around headliner to front edge of it and the front of the headlining by windscreen. The winder handle/interior light area collects water which drips and deluges around bends. Initially I thought I had found the issue, the rubber glass roof seal had come adrift on one corner, it is better now it is refitted but still leaks terribly. There appears to be no water coming in past the seal against the glass itself. Experience from others as to what may be the cause would be useful, I wondered if the seal needs to be better to the roof panel around the aperture. Also I see the frame could let water under it?
  23. The air suspension seems to have some issues on the rear. The bags are good, hold air though just replaced one. However it seems not to self level and if I press the lift button it flashes orange but does not lift like it used to. I am not sure the compressor comes on at all, however it does work. I have a Hawkeye (quite old version so maybe I need to update) , each side lifts and drops when forced to and the compressor relay acts and lifts both sides at the same time. I can lift the suspension right up using the hawkeye so it seems to be something to do with the controls. Any other tests I can do I dont know of on the Hawkeye? and could it be the level sensors..if so how do I check or set them. No warning lights on dash. I wondered if it needs dropping fully on both sides and restarting?
  24. Thanks for that, very much appreciated. I can do the first one when I fix the front n/s window regulator! other than the pain of removing the door cards its easy enough for the other three! shame...old cars often could be done without removing door cards very often by carefully using a tool to pull clips up..
  25. Hi, so having looked at mine...all that illuminates is the LCD screen and one temperature control button (blue part). The bottom row not lit, the middle row under the lcd display not lit, and the 2nd temp control button not lit! I need an 850251, and the JWH100070. what illuminates the middle row under the LCD?
