I'm gonna need help!!!

ChrissieG · Mar 23, 2013

Hi, I'm new here so I thought I'd introduce myself to you lovely people. I'm a female and have owned a Series IIA for about 30 years - she is a 1961 2.8 petrol and is lovely xxxx
Recently I've bought a 1995 Discovery which I've named Herbie - because it just randomly locks me inside and laughs at me trying to get out! This is so embarrassing. When I pull up in a supermarket car park and try to get out - if I notice a person in a nearby vehicle, I often just drive to an isolated spot to try to free myself from the vehicle in privacy!! I've posted a question in hopefully the correct section about this so I might have the last laugh after all....

I'm female and I live in south Wales - I'm a widow so all things mechanical I am starting to learn about - never had to bother before - just make the tea lol. I also have a passion for VW campervans and own a 1974 Bay Window and go to many festivals throughout the year. I've even driven the camper from Land's End to John O'Groats a couple of years back.

I'm looking forward to making new friends on here and getting some advice when I'm fretting!!! Bye for now xx

Welcome Chrisse , fantastic choice of vehicles . Lots of advise on here already written and huge amounts of knowledge from some really clever people . Beware of some though especially via contoversial subjects in 'anything goes'. Some can be downright cruel and nasty . Overall its a really fun forum to be involved with and addictive but mostly enjoy a favourite waste of time .

Hi and welcome to the forum.. As Discogal said the forum can be a bit irreverent and some of the more obnoxious members can be downright rude

just give as good as you get and don't take it personally and you'll fit in fine..

Hi Chrissie

I'm no expert but I used to have a similar Disco. I thought they all had central locking and the electronic immobilser thing. Its one of the reasons I bought a Defender

If so it must have a battery somewhere. If it doesn't have a compartment does the who thing split into two. One of my keys did that but I cant remember which one.

I'm gonna need help!!!
