DeanB Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hey, Right i'm gunna pick your brains ! I have a Disco 300Tdi 1994 M Plate with a remote key fob that doesn't work It has one button on it in like an oval shape, when pressed, it does flash red but nothing happens to the central locking. I have tried the resetting procedure that it states in the manual of standing within range of the vehicle and pressing the button three times but still, Nothing, when i turn the key in the door the indicators flash three times so i take it this could be a factory immobiliser or something, when i go in through the passenger door the indicators start to flash but no sound and the ignition is dead. Hope someone had the same and knows what the problem is. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie50 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Does your Dosco run or is it spinning but not starting, Ive seen a problem in the wiring loom on the inner wing (conections corroded, signs were that the loom was slightly swelled) but more likely just a faulty fob.

When i activate the system by going it through the passenger door there is no lights or anything when i try to start it, just as though there is no battery on the car then, when i get out, lock the doors again and go in the drivers door, it starts fine.

BogMonster Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 By opening the passenger door you are triggering the alarm/immobiliser that is why it won't start - if it has been locked on the drivers door and then unlocked on the drivers door then it will be fine as you can do this on the early ones. The remote or the receiver are not working properly - you could try reprogramming this or do you have a spare one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovernaut Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I don't know if its the same as the 96 disco, but disconnect the battery first for about 15 mins then try the sychning of the fob by pressing it 4 times, if the same as the 96 then the hazards will flash 3 times and the doors will lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. I have two remotes and both seem to be the same and do nothing to the locking system Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
