Hello there I have bought a 97 disco 300 and I don’t know much about them as I’m a series rover lover.
The problem is you unlock it on the remote fob ok and the lights flash get in put the key in the ignition ok turns fine and the ignition lights all come on heater plug light goes out the key turns to engage starter ok but nothing happens you try again for ages then leave it go back 10 mins or so try a couple of times and then it will start straight up.
Any ideas anyone?
I was thinking ignition barrel or immobiliser but would like to know what it is before spending the money and time to find out its something ells.
TAR!
 
Trouble is ... it _is_ likely to be either the ignition switch _or_ the immobiliser .. :)

Try dismantling the IS first, it's easiest, and see what it's like. Search back a way, there's loads of threads about both IS and Immobiliser 'fail to start' issues. ;)
 
will someone be able to test the Immobiliser with a diagnostic computer or wouldnt it show up.
i didunt know I,S could be dismantled so at least i can have a go at that.
thanks for the reply.
