chrisyleigh · Dec 23, 2013

Well this morning my disco would disarm or unlock , managed to get inside alarm going off
Tryed key got the red car sign,

Closed doors used fob and car locked straight away
But again wouldnt unlock

Yes i have searched and its all disco 2s mainly

But this morning it wouldnt i was bouncing round trying everywhere

Had to go work on the ninja wasnt impressed at all
Any help?

And i dont have a spare fob or key btw

Iffy fob or vehicle-battery maybe. Single or two button fob system info is always handy harry.

2 button fob left unlock
Right lock
No led or light on it
But it did lock the landy
Got to batterys on landy and both are fine in that regards

OK the red car sign means the vehicle has re-immobilised it's self, pressing the unlock button or moving the fob closer to the ignition switch should remobilise the engine.

Pressing the unlock button should also silence the alarm if not the button may be faulty, u could check the switch as it's not unknown for it to be come detached (a broken solder joint) from the fobs PCB, as u don't have a spare fob will make things some what difficult.

I had trouble with my discovery 2
Traced all the wires and pulled it out.
Once they start going wrong it's a nightmare

Well...

Where can i get a new fob then :/

It would be "a nightmare" with a D2 as that's one of the 700 improvements it has over the D1

Just Google Remote Key they will also send u a programmer on loan I believe.

First time I've heard of the switch coming completely detached

I was going to say it's no clear but if you can pick up the terminal points on the switch then solder wire links between it and the PCB u will need something like a 15watt soldering iron.

Does the rest of the fob work can you start your engine?

I had this with mine even went to the dealers. Guy told me to check the alignment of the locks as sometimes they can stick and have a knock on of problems. i played with that and done the spider bypass and touch wood it has all been good since.

Bypassed it now and starts a treat
