Is your alternator charging? Perhaps the battery isn't being charged and you were draining the battery and after 5 mins the alarm sense the drop in voltage. I ended up pulling the plug out the back of the siren so it wouldn't annoy the neighbours when the alarm goes off. Don't bother roping...

Well it does say ono. Fozzie

The wire to the solenoid comes from the glow plug timer relay (one under the bonnet by the fuse box) doesn't it? I tried to back probe that wire from the relay but I don't seem to get anything. not sure if there is a problem with the relay or the feed to it. I have taken the case off of the...

Thanks for the above, the rubbers, any splits? What is the drivers door like?, did it have leccy windows? I can feel a trip coming on. Fozzie.

Hi all I have managed to get back to my disco. I have supplied a positive wire straight from the battery to the solenoid and she starts and runs, what does that point to now? Ta, fozzie.

Why was it being broken? What colour? What year? What's the rubbers around the rear boot space glass like? Do you have the passenger side electric window switch? What colour is the dash? I'm after the centre part that covers the spyder that I didn't have. Do you have ignition barrel and...

Cheers Snowman. Fozzie

Hmm, my battery was flat, I was trying to jump start it at the time. When I get chance I will try a positive supply to the solenoid and will check the glow plug relay as I'm still not getting the glow plug light on the dash board. Fozzie.

Also forgot to mention that the led light is never unlit. when you think it is, you can make out that it's very dimly lit.

Cheers, I can get the led light to do a few things by locking the doors and then reaching through the open window to try and get it to crank which it doesn't. After unlocking the doors, the light flashes like a lunatic etc. I can't say too much about the led light because some times it stays on...

I have no fob, 300tdi m reg. I believe the alarm etc was removed. Might have been, that was my 98 v8, my other landy. This thing has never not started. Fozzie.

Hi all after about 2 months left standing my disco won't start. It turns over but no life. 2 things I have noticed though. 1. There appears to be no glow plug illumination on the dash the fuse is okay. 2. The little led light in the dash underneath the stereo is permanently lit. Any ideas...

Cheers SpaceDawg, I would have been proper stumped when I came to fit the rear ones. Fozzie.

Hi, quick question, are the doors on my 3 door disco1 the same as a 5 door? I'm looking for a decent drivers door to replace my dented one and the ones I can see are off of a 5 door model. ta fozzie.

Cheers I got some torx bits I will take it off. I have to replace the rotary coupling as I disconnected the steering box and I didn't realise there was 15 feet of electronic ribbon that snapped when I spun the steering wheel and reconnected. They say leave the battery disconnected for 20 mins...

Hi all I need to remove the airbag from my disco1. Does anybody know what tool/bit is required to undo the two screws on the back of the steering wheel so I can remove the air bag. Regards fozzie.

how much would that cost me for a decent set of shafts and cv joints?

How much would it cost in parts to rebuild the pair? Fozzie.

Thanks for the replies, I will weight up my options. Fozzie.
