Dear All,
I have a bit of a problem with my 2001 discovery 2. All of a sudden the alarm went off and i went and turned off the alarm with my key. When i entered the car all the lights on the dash were flashing and the warning bells were sounding like i had tried to exit the car with the key in the ignition. I put the key in and turned the key to 2 and the lights and warning bells stopped. I started the car and it started perfectly. I turned it off and left it for a while. I then went back to the car to try starting it and it wont start. The lights come on and there is no problem with the battery coz all the lights etc work perfectly. However in the dash next to the odometer where the gear selection is supposed to be there something blinks and it looks kind of like an h yet there are some lines passing through it.
This happened to me about 3 weeks ago. I left it over night and next morning fearing the words went to see if it would start and it started perfectly and has now recurred. Could it be the battery in the remote dying? I read somewhere it might be that.
would anyone kindly assist in helping me diagnose this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Sanjay
