Hi,
I'm hoping someone may be able to shed some light on the latest problem my '99 Disco TD5 seems to have developed.
I left the Disco sitting on the street for a week or so where it remained until I attempted to start it thats when the following happened:
once the key was put in the ignition and turned to allow the glow plug light to go out, there was a beeping noise from behind the dash, the immobiliser light didn't go out, the light indicating the gear you are in on the dash was scrambled & on the gearshift didnt light up, M & S gears on the dash flashed Green, the key stopped locking/unlocking the doors (as well as the switch on the dash)
There was no click that I heard when i attempted to start and the battery doesnt seem to be flat as the lights worked but to be on the safe side, i put it on charge but still no joy.
3 days later i went to show someone the problem and it started first time! I took it for a drive and it was fine but the same thing happened the next day and it wont start again!
I have plugged in a snap on diagnostic machine but nothing seems to come up in the way of faults
After a hunt on the forums/web I can't find a similar problem to this and its driving me mad as its no longer a reliable 4x4 which i need.
Anyone any thoughts before it gets sold for spares or repair??
Thanks to all,
