Hi all
I have a 1999 Discovery TD5 and just recently it has decided to play up by not starting. When I turn the key there is a delay before it turns the engine over, this happens 2-3 times then I get nothing ie turn key all lights come on but absolute silence when trying to start. what I have discovered is when this happens there is no function with the buttons on the key itself. So I lock and unlock the car with the key this returns the functions to the key. so I try the ignition and hey presto it turns the engine over and starts, totaly bamboozled with this has anyone any ideas? I am wondering is the locking and unlocking with the key some sort of reset!! to what? Is it the security system? I don't know, can anyone shed any light on thisplease
Thanks Derek
