Hiya
Bought myself a 1997 300tdi disco a week ago and come bearing questions.
The central locking light (key inside a car icon) is showing on the dash when the car is running (leads me to believe the immobiliser had been disabled as it shouldn't turn on with that light on?)
The drivers side door lock/catch thing also sometimes drops a millimetre or so when you close the door, rendering me having to open the passenger door to lift the lock up to open the drivers door again.
When the door is open and the keys are out, The red light for the alarm on the dash is illuminated and when the door is shut the light then blinks.
The radio also doesn't function, power is to it and there are 4 numbers on the screen
Not sure if all the above are related.
If I lock the car via the fob, the locks shut as they should but then the alarm will give a couple of (very loud) bleeps every couple of minutes or so
Any tips appreciated and I have had a lurk and read stuff similar to this regarding spider etc but nothing seemed to be quite the issue(s) I'm having
Cheers!
