Hi,
Have a good laugh at what I've done : I recently bought my discovery then discovered that the previous owner had fitted the wrong size of battery , it was sitting on top of a brick. Bought the correct battery and fitted it , only the connections were on the opposite side to the one originally fitted. Yepo I connected it up for about 5 seconds positive to end of battery to negative earth. The alarm briefly sounded. I did the job properly and after replacing a couple of fuses the disco started but remote locking , radio, wipers and AC do not work plus the alternator light is not going off. I checked all the fuseable links and they seem okay. Any one else been as stupid as me ? Any help appreciated.:blabla:
 
If fuses are ok, it's likely you have blown the parts mentioned as they all contain electronics. The diiode pack in the alternator is likey shot too.
 
Thanks for that , it's getting worse as the car won't start now. it sounds like the solenoid has gone in the starter.lol
 
Oh dear. Try disconnecting it and connecting it up again. I done this once and everything came back to life. Dont know why.
 
Hey,

good news for me, I got the alternator fixed and all the fault codes reset, everything works again !
