Hi discool; that sounds like really good advice. I'm going to look for a single-button programmable remote. I really appreciate all the help :) Once I've got the alarm thing sorted I'm going to try and sort the sound out. I love music and in the Disco I've bought the rear speakers have been...

Hi discool - Yes, the problem is still there, althought I now know how to lock the Disco without alarming it so now it's much better, however I would obviously rather have the problem sorted! I have tried various different ways of opening the car but there doesn't seem to be any correlation...

Ahhh, I see - yes that makes sense discool, thanks. I had thought that there would be a mechanical door sensor of somekind that registered the physical unlocking. So when I'm tuning the key I'm triggering the microswitch for the central locking but not the microswitch for the alarm, so the...

UPDATE: Still no idea what the problem is BUT I do now know how to lock the car without setting the alarm :D. So, now more annoyed neighbours :5brant: Thanks for the help everyone :)

Thank you for the advice everyone. KeepDigging - I am a firm believer in RTFM and have read it from cover to cover. Unfortunately, this hasn't told me whether it came with a key fob. The chap I bought it off said that he didn't know and that it didn't come with a key fob when he bought it...

Hi Everyone, This week I bought my first Land Rover - a 1994 Disco diesel. I was worried that the Disco would have all of the bad points of a Defender (uncomfortable, bad on-road etc) with none of the good (amazing off-road, tons of fun). And also that it would have none of the best points...

Hi Everyone, Having fallen in love with our friend's Defender (my fiancee and I borrowed it while house-sitting for them), this week I have just purchased my first Land Rover. A Discovery in actual fact, and very pleased I am too!! :D One small problem though - sometimes when I unlock it...
