Td5

Hi everyone

My friend has a td5 that he bought recently, and has a intermittant fault. It starts first time everytime, drives brilliantly, can go for any length of journey without any problems, then stop, switch off and when u return, the Landie won't start. It doesn't do this overtime. It can go 3 weeks without any problems.

Theres a red light on the dash, which apparently signifies that there is no signal from the remote to the edu.

My friend owns a small garage, so he knows what he's doing, but is stumped with this one. He's been advised by the dealership that a new ECU and re program is £1500. He's also plugged in the diagnostic tool and no fault code show.

I was talking to him in the pub last nite and spoke highly of this site and offered to ask the oracle!!

My friend lost his sight 4 years ago, hence he's not doing this bit himself.

The lady has about 80,000 on the clock and has been maintained by landdrover. Its a 2001 defender in great condition.

Any ideas???

It means you shouldn't be told how to bypass the immobiliser after only 2 posts on the forum. Never know who's fishing for this information! Not accusing you of anything!

Try using the spare key/remote for a while to prove its not that.

Oh I see about the lack of posts etc. Ive been lurking in the background for years and never needed to actually post anything!!

Regarding the spares, they do exactly the same thing.

Cheers
