in Baron Wet Bum's Slave pit..
1993 Disco 200tdi,
factory fitted immobiliser
No aftermarket alarms immobilisers etc fitted
Bog Standard.

Will only drive when the hazard lights are switched on. If left for a while it will start occasionally. But will switch itself off as soon as you start to move or touch any switches etc. Also won't switch off if the hazards are on. even if you're stood outside the vehicle with the keys in your hand. I've removed the fuse for the hazards and this stops the indicators flashing but means if you drive it you've no indicators :eek: Have disconnected all the wiring to the column switch pack and it doesn't make the slightest difference to the starting of the vehicle Once it dies you have to plug the connector with the hazard wiring in before it will restart. So I'm asuming it's the immobiliser and not the switch gear.

Anyone heard of this happening before and how did you cure it...

Have you tried locking and unlocking the door with the key instead of the plip pikey? A certain person on here's disco has the hazzards come on when he hits a bump a bit hard. The only way to turn em off is to lock and unlock it with the key.
 
Nah that dunt work either. I've been told Crash sensor. I did have a bump in it on my way to Manby LR Show. So it could be that I suppose..

Have you tried running a new separate wire to the fuel solenoid on the pump direct from the battery.

I had a problem on the wife's 200 where it wouldn't start, I rigged a temporay wire to see if that helped and she fired straight away.

I then took off the original wire and tried again with my temp wire - and she fired, so I rigged a new permanent connection from the cigar lighter wire (it switches on & off with the ignition) to the solenoid.

This seems to have circumvented the immobiliser completely and we now have trouble-free motoring;) :D :D
