Hello! I am new to the Discovery game having just purchased a 1999 TD5 in wonderous gold.
However I have suddenly happened upon a very irritating problem. The car will open on the key then I pop the key in the ignition, give it a twist, the lights come on and then I try and start it.
Nothing
Then the damn thing wont do anything, no lights on key, no ignition, no lock unlock and now the alarm is going off and it will not stop.
This happened once without the alarm issue and closing the door, locking and unlocking started it. This time it will not let me lock and unlock. The lights coming on the key when buttons are pressed and sometimes the car makes an extra bleep when I press the button.
Please advise how I can resolve this and if anyone knows an easy way to get the alarm to stop whining (somewhere easy to disconnect it) it would be appreciated. My popularity on my tiny terraced street dropped when I started parking the beast on the road and its dropping further now that I will potentially keep everyone awake tonight
