Hi all, it pains me to put this as my Disco has been problem free for the last few years, but.

Its a 300tdi manual with the spider removed.

The other day I went to start it, (it had not been locked since turning it off) and the immobiliser light (the one thats a disco with a big key in it) came on. After pressing the unlock button on my fob it started fine. It did this for a couple of days. And again yesterday and then i got no response out of the fob.

The only way i could get it to start was with a screw driver across the starter terminals.

I have replaced the battery in the fob but with no effect.

Has anyone got any ideas.

Thanks Chris.

Did you re sync the fob to the vehicle?.

I have tried standing beside it and pressing the unlock button 4 times but that didn't do anything.

Did you totally discharge the fob when you took the battery out? Take the battery out and press both buttons a dozen or so times. Then replace battery and resync.

Is it a 2-button fob?

The fob battery is a CR2032, it sounds like it needs to re-synch, but you're having probs ...

It sounds like you need a tester to re-programme the fob ...

Thanks for the replies, have got it sorted today. Tried synching my remote with a diagnostics kit with no luck. But synched another fob and all is ok.
