Well not what I wanted today really but the key fob, including the spare, are not opening the doors and disabling the alarm. Fortunately I have the horn disconnected from the alarm but the vehicle is is still immobilised and I can't see the BCU as a result on my Nanocom.
Anyway, I've finally removed the headlining to find the condensed moisture on the roof at a very high level and water droplets everywhere including the RF receiver. Checked the three wires and appear to have power so it must be the RF gone. Opening and closing the doors with the key fob has been awkward and I have had to be next to the vehicle in recent months.
Taken the module out of the black box and some moisture inside the black box too and the three connection terminals look to be starting to oxidise. I'm guessing its going to have to be a new RF.
Now the issue - my Disco is a 1998 and does it matter which model year I get one from?
Any other tips or advice I may need would be good too. In the meantime I'll be trying to finally do something with that sagging headlining.
