My recently acquired Disco 2 Td5 has already been as source of joy, and disappointment.

After replacing the near side track rod end, the steering is LOADS better - I've never seen one in such a poor state as the one I took off.

When I bought it, there were no horn buttons, so I replaced the steering wheel, for one with audio controls and cruise - complete with the dash switch. Swapped it all over - a surprisingly easy job - plugged it in - audio still worked a treat. But the horns still didn't work, and whilst the light was on, cruise definitely wan't at home.

OK - back to basics - check fuse 16 - that was fine - but that's right next to the relay that's been unplugged - plug it back in - hooray - horn and cruise now working !

My next big ticket has to be getting the SRS light off. I realise it's likely one of 5 things, and I need to check which with a Nanocom (Search is my friend), but I don't have one.
I'm a complete unknown here (Why on earth would you help me?) - and asking favours isn't something I'm good at, so any ideas how I find someone local to BS37 that may be able to help with a nanocom fault code read, and what the etiquette is for asking?

Thanks.
 
Have a look on the LandyZone International Rescue section on here. There is a map on there of people willing to assist for beer tokens. See who is your nearest and message them.

You say 5 things for the SRS light, rule one out without a nanocom- under the drivers seat is an electrical connector. Check the wiring to it. One of the wires had come out on mine, popped it back in, light went out :)
 
Try adjusting the front seats.... it sounds silly but when I wind my passenger right forward (to create more load space behind it) my SRS light came on, returned it to a normal position and lightwent our.... I know it’s probably a loose wire but it’s fine with the seat in a normal place so never bothered to try and fix it...

Then it's most likely a loose wire like I said above. Very simple 5 minute fix. Also an MOT fail if you don't and it appears at the most inopportune moment- like just before the MOT... ;)
