Hi,
Can anyone tell me please. I have a 2003 TD5 Disco that I just bought from a dubiouse soarce (Gwent 4x4 / NoFear4x4) and the alarm security system is totaly non functional. There is no light on the dash & the key fob does nothing. upon further investigation I found that the original BCU is still in situe & a replacement has been plugged in & just stuffed behind the pannel. Having found this I plugged in the original one & imediately the alarm sounded for a short while but the key fob which does have a good battery did not deactivate it. once the alarm silenced I tried to start the vehichle but the alarm sounded as soon as Itried to put the key in the ignition, I tried to start the car but it was imobilised.
Does this mean that the original BCU is faulty & also the replacement, or has the relpacement come from a vehichle without a security system? and it was put in just to shut up the alarm.
Thanks inadvance for any helpfull suggestions.
Original BCU.
