JimDay Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi all my son has a 1993 200 Tdi Disco which since off roading has some issues, when trying to start, the alarm kicks in & the starter wont turn over, the hazard lights flash & the horn sounds. We have changed the alarm/central locking modual that was buzzing but the faults are still there Any ideas guys or know of a link to help me sort this out Many thanks in advance Jim Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Is it factory fit system or aftermarket one jim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimDay Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi Nigelw it's a factory fitted one but I think we've found the problem now (hopefully) after much digging and investigation we found that the 4 fusible links in the loom from the battery to the inside of the car along the drivers side inner wing were very corroded so much so that they fell apart as the loom covering was removed so it now has an extra fuse box fitted with 4 x 10 amp fuses fitted and it seems to have cured the problem only time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrRob Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Are those fusible links inside the "cloth sock" thingy? Did you just put a fuse box in line instead? I have the same problem...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Think they are, but only fitted to post 92MY 200Tdi as 300Tdi got revamped fuse and relay board under bonnet. I seem to remember a club member fitting a new set of aftermarket individual fusible links from a motor factors, mounted on a bit of bent plate on the inner wing, he filled them up with vaseline and they've never been any hassle since. Not sure if I can find something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Strip-Link-Midi-Fuse-Holder-with-50A-60A-80A-100A-Fuses-for-Car-Truck-Van-/171248103184 These are almost exactly the same but half the price he paid in the motor factors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
