Hi, I had to disconect the battary because i went to afghan (work) returned for a couple of weeks, reconected the battery and no joy she wont start.
Has fuel in it
battery has enough power,
think its the imobiliser, have got the code but havnt got a clue what to do with it!
Return from afghan in a few weeks and need to get it started as Im just proving the wife right, that I should have bought a newer model.

Its a Discovery 1, 2.5tdi. (got the disco 1 because i thought it would be simple to fix, if it went wrong. Hope its my simpleness and and not the latter,lol)

sounds like it might be the spider (immobiliser control unit behind centre dash facia) , you can get a bypass connector to get rid of it for a few quid

is it turning over or when you turn the key theres nothing there? discos love a good old sticky barrel. the copper solonoids inside stick.

Hi mate,
Is it manual or auto, what year is it and does it turn over??
Also what part of the UK are you in , if it's reasonably local I'm happy to take a look!
