well after thinking the eka code would let me be mobile at least I tried to use it this moring and nothing , couldn't get the eka code to work . Holding the key in the unlock positition for 5 secss didn't respond. Phoned LR and he thinks my car battery is flat , caused by the short that...

apologies martin for questioning your typing skills:D:D I haven't heard of that one before? I found a thread about programming keys that involved holding down the bonnet switch and turning the ignition on and off several times until the horn sounds and you enter a 'learning mode' whereupon you...

] new receiver is about £35 from stealers , where is the fuse for the alarm? the alarm still worked when i opened the door so i assumed the fuse would be ok. Andy Peter, I'm sure the fob batteries are ok as I only changed them a few months ago and they have both been working fine, How could...

well the code they gave me worked and a=10 b=11 and so on. took the code 1st time and after the obligatory wait I got in and started up fine , took the car for a 1/2 hour drive to make sure battery charged ok came back switched off. went to lock the car and nothing! wouldn't lock with the fob...

thats what I thought, he was a bit embarrassed and said if it didn't work to call them tomorrow as they will have full staffing levels. also a possibility that it goes 1-9 with 0=10 a=11 b=12 so will have to try both. Andy

hi, Parked the V8 disco2 on monday morning locked using fob as usual. went to go out today and nothing, wouldn't unlock . red led on fob was lighting but nothing happening. unlocked with key opened door alarm goes off (as expected) key in ignition turn it on and still nothing . been...

have you tried running it on petrol only? book figures are (from memory) 12mpg town 22 m/way and 16mpg combined. see what you get on petrol this will give you an idea of what to expect on lpg (10-15% less) you need to make sure all of the leads , coils and plugs are in top order. Mine was...

what sort of bulb is it? I am also hitting the dash to get it to work , if its that simple I'd just as well replace while i'm checking connections

Hopefully a wheel balance will sort it :) I had a similar problem but at lower speeds (55) which was the coil packs and leads failing. once the torque converter locked the engine was under a heavier load and the poor spark caused the vibration as it was only running on 5 1/2 at low speed you...

Hi, I have a converted d2 and I ignore the leds, I do sometimes get 4 green when I fill it . sometimes it will stay on 4 green for 150 miles and others it is on red after 50 , as said above reset trip every time and you will get to know how far you will get. I have twin 40l tanks which give me...

cheers rojbarker I still need an answer because I am changing the indicator and headlight switch and need to remove the airbag. Andy

according to rave I should disconnect the battery before removing fan and I have just read another thread about 'saving' immobiliser codes and the fobs when the battery id disconnected. What does this mean ? I haven't had any issues with my other cars when the battery is taken off Andy

thanks for your help guys

Hi I am changing the serpentine belt on my v8 d2 and i know that the v8 has a normal rh thread. However looking at it I still cant work out if (looking from the front) I need to turn it left (unscrewing from the fan) or right (unscrewing from the shaft):confused: any help appreciated thanks...

anyone?

Hi My 2000 d2 does around 13mpg round town and 17 on a run so if you compare to petrol prices it's about 22 and 30. I have a small petrol tank (25l) and twin 40l tanks where the original petrol tank was. This gives me 65l capacity of gas (always take 20% off tank size) which will do 200miles...

hi everyone. I have a 2000 v8 disco that i am having indicator problems with. they do work but only if I wiggle either the steering wheel or indicator stalk. I have looked on rave and see that there is a multiplug for the indicators. could it be a loose multiplug or in peoples experience should...

I bought a used one off fleabay and it has been ok. Paid £40 delivered . From what I've heard original is best. (bosche)

I had the same thing and it was the maf , disconnecting made no difference . its like hitting a rev limiter at 2500rpm changed the maf and it solved it mine also a 2000 v8 auto

thanks for replies , I think a change of plugs will be a starting point
