Hello to All.
Very, very new to all this forum discussions, have read some and found it to be invaluable.
Have just recently bought my first ever LandRover Discovery 2 td5 manual 2001 and very pleased with it we are too. My wife and I moved from long history of Volvo estates which do go on forever (299,000 miles and last one 243,000 miles) but they are rather low for ease of access. We decided on Land Rover as its a proper 4x4 and British and always wanted one. My mates all say "should have bought a Honda, Toyota etc".
However, after a few weeks the Landrover has developed a fault that I cannot get any further with. Basically, when you open any door the interior lights do not come on. They operate correctly with the switches (so not power problem). They also do not come on when operating the key fob. Its a bit of a pain as I am an hgv driver starting at daft o'clock in morning and putting stuff in total darkness is awkward. I now keep torches as well as stretching into vehicle to operate the switch. The keyfob operates correctly and does lock/unlock the doors. I do not have the EAK codes. (if its enabled).
Some threads have suggested the BCU needs reprogramming, some say fault with earth wires but am at a loss.
Any one seen this before, local LR specialist says that BCU is robust and probably not that.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks and Happy New Year
Tony.
