Alarm on my Discovery 2 V8 year 2000 (Petrol).
Last week the Alarm sounded for no apparent reason whilst the car was parked. I used the remote to switch it off, then tried to unlock and lock the car using the remote. The alarm sounded once when I pressed the lock button on the remote, but the car did not lock. I then started the car hoping it will reset something! I then tried to lock the car again using the remote, but it did not, instead the one beep sounded.

I then used the internal button near the dash and locked all door and used the key to lock the driver door. This again produced a one beep, but locked the door manually.

After a couple of hours I tried to see if the remote locking is working. Everything was back to normal.

I have now got the same problem for the second time. I have locked the car manually, and hope it will sort its self back to normal.

Please advise why this is happening.

Thanks.
 
When u press the button on the remote the alarm control looks to see if any of the 5 doors or the bonnet are still open and if so the alarm control will not set and will give a single beep. I'm sure know that..

So if everything is shut and there is still a beep from the control then this would suggest that one of the switches either door or the bonnet is faulty in some way and not giving the shut signal to the control. First look at the bonnet switch as the door switches will be ok if they still operate the overhead interior lights.

There other things but go for the simplest things first.
 
All the switches are simple make or brake. On the bonnet switch pull apart he wiring connector and test it with a meter or a lamp and battery to check continuity there may be a bit of corrosion in the plug which u will see, or within the switch itself (doutfull) u will find if it's ok with the tester . and if the interior lights up when each door is open then no problems there but it's worth having a look if your prob is intermittent.
If D2 door switches are the same as a D1 then u can easly remove them.
 
I seem to have a new issue now!

The central locking is now working, but when I put the key in the ignition and turn to position 2 or start the engine, the dash has a flashing 'D' and then 'P'. What does this mean please.
 
I have just tried to start the car again to see if the problem still persists - some how magically all seems to be fine. I'm glad it is.

Just out of curiosity, what does the flashing 'P' and the flashing crossed 'D' mean - I could not see any information about this in the handbook?
 
Sorry can't help on that one as I run a D1, I suggest U open a new thread on that question..
