    Central locking and alarm dead, so is car!

    Found 'south main auto repair', yep there's plenty if videos, just need to find the right one lol. I have also now bought a relay tester and, despite swapping the alarm relay with my old disco (now sold) and the alarm still working on that, this tester says it's duff, it also found a green YWB...

    Central locking and alarm dead, so is car!

    I've read the owners manual, that didn't help. I've got the 1995 Workshop Manual and it's that and Electronic Troubleshooting Manual that I'm using to try and trace any wiring faults, none found so far. The only other thing that came back to mind when I was talking this through with another mate...

    Central locking and alarm dead, so is car!

    But I've never had a fob, it's only ever locked and unlocked on the key (in either door to unlock but, if locked on the passenger side, the alarm would go off if unlocked on the drivers door) and it all worked for that brief period one day:), then failed completely in about 18 hours:(. This is...

    Central locking and alarm dead, so is car!

    I had one of those 'stab in the dark' thoughts, what if the replacement alarm ecu was also duff so, I contacted the seller, jbs4x4, in Lye and James immediately came back and said, "not a problem", and sent me a tested one out the same day at no charge, and said "just return it if that also...

    I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong!

    Hi Disco1BFG, thanks for watching, unfortunately I don't have a working fob, car didn't come with any fobs that I can have repaired so, it's keys only I'm afraid (worked before .......... isho_O) I intend to keep fighting it, not that I have much option as it's a bit big for a garden ornament...

    Central locking and alarm dead, so is car!

    Thanks again for the interest, yes, the spider is the ecu with all associated bits coming from it, I replaced this on my same year D1 and never had a problem with engine ecu not recognising it (it has to be the same AMR code and MHz), fingers crossed it applies to the RRC too:rolleyes:. Will be...

    Central locking and alarm dead, so is car!

    Many thanks for that, my old P38 had an EKA code (and I did have to use it once) but didn't think my RRC would have with not having a transponder in the key but, noting ventured, nothing gained so, I tried the start of the sequence as detailed but zero from the alarm so couldn't go any...

    Central locking and alarm dead, so is car!

    Never had a fob, central locking and alarm only worked on the key on the passenger side then, after pin switch replacement, drivers side for a few hours:confused:. There's no power getting to the starter motor (it's what the alarm module is programmed to do), hence no light dimming when key...

    Central locking and alarm dead, so is car!

    Thanks for that kind offer however, if I'm beaten by the Range Rover alarm I think I'd be suicidal with something more complex :confused::eek:. I have to admit to admiring your spirit in going for it in the first place , way beyond me, I'd still have two alarms, (the fact I haven't even got one...

    Brilliant Discool, thank you. When 2nd hand ecu arrives I'll swop, if no go, I'll have a playo_O (as is my want lol). As for the fob, me thinks best left to keys!:). Cheers, peanuts

    Central locking and alarm dead, so is car!

    Yep, the AMR2109 is 433MHz but the AMR2106 (mine) is 418MHZ. Just replaced the micro (pin) switch and the cam is ok. Tried a fob I got of eBay on the D1 and, as usual, failed miserably. (on reflection, as I write, I wonder if it's a 418MHz fob and that's why it didn't work on 433?) There are...

    Central locking and alarm dead, so is car!

    Thanks once again, the ecu's are black, the D1 was AMR2109 with a blue spot and the RRC is AMR 2106 with a red spot. Bought one off eBay for £40 and fingers crossed that was the problem and it all works.:) If not, then your suggestion of a separate system would seem to be the only way forward...

    Thanks for that but unfortunately, never had any fobs.

    Central locking and alarm dead, so is car!

    OK, I've now established the alarm ECU controls the central locking and I've got 2 alarm ECU's from the mk1 discovery box of bits, when it stops raining (probably tomorrow now) I'll see if they are the same unit (same year cars) and have a play, anything I should be wary of please before I...

    Central locking and alarm dead, so is car!

    Hi all, help needed yet again please for my 1994 RRC 3.9 V8. Central locking was working but the alarm only triggered from the passenger door, trial and error lead me to the pin switch on the drivers door not working. Found a working pin switch from some mk1 discovery bits I had (as you do!)...

    RRC 1994 soft dash - cruise control pipes?

    Merry Christmas one and all (Ho Ho ............ Ho) Yes, cruise control vacuum pipes, there are none! It has the vacuum pump and it has an actuator (I think) and there's a broken pipe coming out the bulkhead from what I assume from it's position is the switch on the brake pedal, but that's it...

    1994 3.9 Soft dash - central locking cock-up

    Have now checked every fuse I could find and there are several with just the open book on but no description, one of these (an 18amp) had indeed blown, changed it and Hey Presto, we're back in business so Brianp38dse, you were right, thank you. Pity LR don't put 'immobiliser' anywhere in their...

    Soft dash 1994 3.9 Auto - diagnostic port

    OK, many thanks, ordered the 'hotwire' so lets see (hopefully) what happens when i plug that in, ever the optimist. Wiring diagrams are fantastic, however, being a simpleton, I can't read them but, at least it shows where I'm looking is the right connector (its' that damned optimist again). It's...
