Hi all,
Can any one tell me if its possible to disconnect the alarm/Immobilisor on a TD5 Discovery please:confused::confused::confused:
As always any help would be appreciated.:crazy_driver:
 
then find somebody here http://www.nanocom-locator.co.uk/ and ask him to set the alarm in BCU on "always disarm with key" mode... then the key will act like the fob ... except when you lock it with the key ...then you'll not have volumetric alarm(all the rest will be active)... at least a trapped in fly will not disturb you and the neighbours:D

Until you realise what a main dealer will charge just to clear any fault codes etc.

Picked my used original Nanocom up on fleabay in as new condition. Has earned its keep already in terms of diagnosing faults let alone what its saved me in unnecessary spare parts and labour charges.

My Nanocom has been invaluable too. Even when not using it to diagnose faults I still use it in instrument mode to monitor battery voltage, coolant temp, boost pressure and as a rev counter.

Was super useful to me when I borrowed it. LR told me I needed a new ABS modulator and shuttle valve assembly when I got the three amigos just before my MOT was due. Ran a brake system bleed cycle with Ratty's Nanocom and all was well. Saved me nearly £800 plus labour. :D:D
When I went back to LR to try and tell them what was actually wrong they chucked me out. Shysters. Its still perfectly OK nearly two years later.
Still owe you a beer or three mate.

Well, after one week my TD5 has let me down AGAIN.!!!!!!!!

Won't let me in without setting off alarm/ immobiliser..
Don't know anyone near me with nanocom so if i can get it sorted i,ll sell it and NEVER buy another TD5...

Had 5 200 Disco,s in the past and never had problems with them. None i could'nt fix with a spanner that is..:mad::mad::mad:

Thanks for all the advice but TD5's are not for me...

The alarm is a separate unit to the ECU so its not just specific to TD5s

Yes but you need nanocom to reset the alarm in BCU mode to disable the immobiliser/alarm don't you.?? Therebye allowing me to lock and unlock on the key instead of the fob..:confused:

Is yours an all in one key and plip or is it a key with a seperate plip?

Does the lock/arm button still work while the unlock/disarm button won't?

Unlock button does the alarm/disable as well as unlock all doors. When it feels like working...I.E.One button to unlock and disarm imobiliser, one button to lock and imobilise.
Listen, thanks for all info/replies ect but i,m gonna sell it and move on...
Thanks again to you all.;););)

IMO you need a receiver not a fob...and that's more cheaper ... you'll loose more than £40(price of a receiver) if you will try to sell it unfixed

One key has fallen apart and the other works when it feels like it.. I,ll get the new key fob on Friday and if it turns out to be the receiver then i,ll replace that too. Just passed its MOT so thats that for another 12 months.:D

My dads Discovery was doing exactly the same thing. Alarm going off as soon as you pretty much touched it and wouldn't allow you start it.

Got it reset then by an Indy and its been fine since although think the battery in the fob is dead.
Must really get my own diagnostics stuff though!

The TD5 engines are fine really. Can go abit ape **** at times and the electronics everywhere else in the jeep but once everything is right again and gremlins are chased out they are grand.

I'd much prefer a TD5 with a few mods than a 200 anyway I reckon.
