As it happens, I subscribed to that group yesterday and got added earlier today. That's a good idea Sierrafery, It looks like there are some people not far from here, so if I get on with the rest of the vehicle and get it on MOT'd and on the road, I'll be able to meet with someone locally and...

I will definitely do that, the callrova guy did say repair more than refurb I think but I'd be a fool not to take your advice here.. I'll give Heathy a call tomorrow time permitting. He's the one that I'd get a tested rf module from too isn't he? I'd bet he'd have been better choice for the...

I spoke to a gentleman at https://callrova.com today. They specialise in refurbing BCU's and he reckoned that apart from the possibility of the replacement RF module being faulty, it is likely that when my fusebox went (it was definitely badly damaged) it is common for there to be damage to the...

Sounds like a good plan, as you have all pointed out, no point guessing. Thanks, Mark XF

Had another bit of play.. With a multimeter between each wire to the rf unit and ground respectively, I get over 13 volts... So, power getting to rf unit... Further, hooking up my cheap and nasty velleman scope between ground and one of these wires gave me a waveform of a few millivolts pretty...

Had 5 min just now and out of curiosity popped bottom steering cover off.. The random multiplug was not to do with the coil, in fact was leading up to column, I would guess for cruise control when fitted? Good to know that it shouldn't be plugged into anything though.. I think a play with the...

It's certainly not a basic system, I can see how without nanocom or similar the diagnostic process becomes somewhat complicated :eek:. From fresh with the battery first re-connected, the starter is disabled, the immobiliser in operation. If I lock and unlock the door, the alarm will sound...

Being PC based, I think it can act as a storage scope of sorts but as a low end model I'm wondering how hard it will be to make any sense of the data.. I would settle I think for now with just getting a real time reaction to the keyfob being depressed from the module.. I can try the old module...

Good point, I'll hope I get lucky... Having read up more on RAVE, I think I might get the cover off the steering column as well and check the passive remobilisation coil.. Thing is, when changing the fusebox, I noticed a multiplug sticking out from the bottom of the column cover and nowhere...

Sierrafery, it will be interesting to find out :), I used to use scopes years ago, but haven't a while.. A few months ago I bought a cheap PC based scope on offer which I have been looking for an excuse to use.. When I next get a chance to work on the landy, think I'll give that a shot. It'll...

I tried holding my remote close to the receiver with no result, but something i tried unsuccessfully but might help you being that yours kind of works is the bolt that earths the unit... One of the bolts holding the receiver to the roof contacts a plate on the receiver that acts as an earth...

I'll have to look into that, I only hooked it up for the first time today. I've had mixed results with the DS808, it's a bit hit and miss on many vehicles. There wasn't anything in the BCU menu, but with Autel's quirky menu's it could be hidden somewhere else so worth me taking a second look...

I have a feeling you're right Tony.. It's kind of feeling in the dark not being certain it works.. Though both modules appear undamaged internally with no evidence of corrosion, I have heard they are a frequent failure item.. looks like I may be saving up for a new one :( wish there was a way to...

Hi there, I have my first Landy, a 53 plate Discovery 2 TD5 Facelift, an MOT failure project vehicle I plan to put back on the road. First issues I plan to deal with are electrical. Vehicle came to me with intermittent indicators, wipers etc and non operational central locking requiring EKA...

Thank you and good point Turboman, Please regard this post from now on purely on an intro basis and I will re-post a more specific version there. All the best, Mark XF :)

Hi there, I currently reside near Neath in South Wales and now have my first Landy, a project vehicle with a few issues which I will be addressing one by one in the coming weeks. Mine is a 53 plate Discovery 2 TD5 Facelift, an MOT failure which I will put on the road if all goes to plan...
