I've had a play around today now I have had the vehicle towed to a quieter location where I'm not going to **** off the neighbours. With the key in the ignition and connecting the battery the alarm goes on for about 30 seconds after which it turns off. When turning the key dash lights come on...

Thanks for the reply Rougharse Racing. Willing to try any options at this point. When you say he took the positive terminal off this was with the negative still connected? Sorry for stupid question always told never take to take positive off first, makes me a little nervous :) Cheers

I am pretty certain it is an immobiliser after some googling. Had a couple of replies on another forum saying I should have a fob, pin override panel and the pin - none of these were supplied by the previous owner. Infact they never even mentioned this system, I'm starting to think they didn't...

Yes that is the part Scooby, much appreciated. I was looking trawling through the parts catalogue but was having no luck. There has been a development. I thought I would take the dash panel off to try and trace the wires from the small light and found this (photo attached). So it appears I...

I just been having a play around with it and I've noticed the trigger on the rear door has nothing to actually push it in. Googled some photos and there is supposed to be a small metal bracket it on the door that depresses the plunger when closed. The holes are there for it. Anyone have any idea...

Thanks for the reply Brown. Just to confirm it was a Thatcham Cat 1 that had the additional light? I really don't know much about these things. Where are the aftermarket units usually installed as in where should I start looking to find out what aftermarket is installed on mine? Thanks. Thanks...

Hi discool, If I'm honest, I'm not entirely sure. Half the job with these things seem to be working out what has been modified / bodged by previous owners before fixing a problem! There have been quite a few modifications and aftermarket bits and pieces added to this one over the years so I...

I cant find any reference to the small blue light on top of the dash panel either. When searching it always talks about the red light on the dials themselves and not on top of the dash console above the heater controls. Does anyone else have this light? This is the light that is coming on when...

No central locking on vehicle. Fob battery is ok.

Thanks for the reply Scooby. I've just tried that and no joy unfortunately.

Hi Folks, Problem with the immobiliser on my Defender TD5 99'. Fitted new front LED spotlights yesterday. Disconnected battery using correct procedure. Disconnected old lights and wired in new lights. Reconnected battery before bolting new lights into place to check all was ok. Lights all...

That's great, thanks meego.

How do they work meego? Just push into hole and have 'lip' either side of the hole? Is there a sealant you would recommend?

I was wondering if I could put some kind of plastic bolt in because it's really just to fill the hole. They won't be holding anything.

Many thanks for the reply jamesmartin.
