I know this topic is really well covered elsewhere, I have read the Spider topic, so I just wanted to clarify some points
Problem:
Key remote sometimes doesn't work. I can use key to unlock door, but alarm goes off and immobiliser is on. Can't turn off the blaring alarm. I can run around the car, and remote finally works at some weird angle. The remote can then work fine for a day or two, and then go bad again. Remote is OK, I had it cleaned and re-soldered, and battery is also new.
What I have:
Discovery 1, 1998, manual gearbox, 300TDI, key remote control FOB with two buttons
What I don't have:
Second FOB, security number in users guide book
Questions
1. Will removal of the whole Spider box and it's wires solve the alarm and immobiliser problem? I don't need the alarm, I am fine with key operated central lock.
2. I understand that the solenoid bypass only takes care of the immobiliser, and will not solve my alarm sound problem? I do need to dig out that Spider box?
3. Maybe there is some other solution?
Thank you for any comments or ideas.
