Hi Guys,
Managed to lose the key and fob for my 97 Disco V8 Auto.
Long story with lots of no shows, but eventually a locksmith turned up took seconds to open Disco but sadly no keys inside.
He's cut a key by hand which works in the door locks but not the ignition.
Weather has been horrible recently so I said I'd get a new ignition lock to speed things up.
Ended up with a s/h ignition lock with key, fob, all locks and the green box which I understand controls central locking. Cost £70.
Scrappy reckons there's a chance of it working with the immobiliser, but if not I need to bypass it.
Before I start drilling out the bolts on the ignition lock, does anyone know if I need the spider etc from the same vehicle in the scrap yard, or can advise on what I need to do.
Locksmith is backing off from the problem, says it's been going on so long he will return parts and not charge a fee.
I don't care about central locking, alarm etc, just need to get back on the road asap.
Any help will be very much appreciated, I've been off road for a month now.
Cheers
Wookie
