Hi everyone!
So after looking for ages, I bought my first land rover! Disco 2 TD5 (2000).
I had it for less than a week, and one morning for work the fob wouldn't work before work! Ahh. Upon entering the landy with the key in the door the alarms blared, in which I pulled the horn fuse and disconnected the sounder so I could investigate further.
I was able to obtain the EKA code from a landy dealership and worked a treat. Can drive it with the code (after the 5 min wait).
Anyway after lots of research I proceeded with the following steps:
I changed the battery fob, twice, with new batteries. Fob shows red light when pressing unlock/lock buttons
Mr. AA tested strength of fob, getting good signal.
After some research, had a look for the receiver. Took the head lining out, all seemed OK. The receiver was not damp, no sun roof on the disco. Although this, there was no earth bolted on the side like some of I have seen? Unfortunately the YWY.... number had been ripped off.
I ordered another receiver which came today - YWY000080. I installed this and connected the earth properly. But still no luck and the landy does not respond to the fob
Does the fob need resyncing? Can it de sync for some reason? Is this only possible with a nanocom?
Another concern: the bonnet entry switch has been removed, only noticed this after looking over the alarm system in RAVE. could this be stopping the car from being immobilised? It seemed to work the first (and only) 2 times I drove the car haha.
Does any one have any further suggestions? I am due to move house next week and could really do with this issue sorted!!!
Thank you in advance!
