Land Rover only use 4 wires.
Blue and green goes to the orange and pink slave wiring in the door.
Brown or white only one is used goes to the brown-pink wire in the door.
Black is ground.
If the drivers door locks but the other four open the reverse the slave wires.
What colour goes to what colour of the Land Rover wiring I haven't a clue I just use a meter to match them up.

You must have the early 200 series system as you don't need a fob for it, but u can get one and programme it yourself. With the 300 system you can't start the engine without a fob.

I did say 200 series system.. they were fitted in the first 1995 300 series discos perhaps the alarm that controls the CL remotely is missing

Thats it... you need to know frequency (Mz) that's printed on the lable, then you can get a new single button fob from the likes of Remotekey or a s/h one from eBay the program it to your system, it's a 'run a round' 8 second procedure releasing bonnet switch etc, it has been listed a few times in this forum or Google the web for the info then u will have remote central locking
