Hi, no I think the boot switch is OK, it wasn't working as apparently it gets earthed via the drivers door and a faulty microswitch in the door latch can prevent the boot opening also, fingers crossed it all works OK now as I've put all my tools in the boot today and I'm too old and stiff to...

New door latch fitted today and a jump start of my old Discovery, running again drove it home, keyfob that worked the central locking is doing so again and both start the car, plus I can now open the boot too :)

Thanks Doo, my replacement door latch arrived today, so I'll be swapping it soon and seeing if I can get going again, fingers crossed

That's a shame, did they leave you a fully loaded cash machine in the back for your troubles?

Wow, now that's making a large withdrawal :D

My thoughts here too Datatek although at only 19 years old it's the newest of all the Landrovers I've owned and more like a new car than an old one to me :)

Thanks, got Martys lock test sheet and Mozz's sync checks etc too, made some enquiries about a new latch unit for the drivers door, don't think there's much point me taking anything else off it for now until I have a working latch to fit.

Hopefully I won't need to find out , unlikely any local car thiefs will bother with it, if they can get it going I will be impressed though

Quite possibly, it's outside the premises of the key fob specialist I'd been at asking about re syncing one of my fobs or getting a replacement, he's been trying to get it resolved also, should have probably made that clear earlier.

Thanks

I've got Gem breakdown cover, can get it recovered, think it's safe enough where it is but just didn't fancy leaving it unlocked there.

Update from today, thanks for all the help, docs, suggestions and Moz on the phone too Ran through the suggestions from Moz to try to sync the fobs again, couldn't get it working though. Removed the door card from the drivers door, bellied out the cable from the door station to the latch...

Thanks, didn't sort it today, will let you know if I do

Had a look for the map, not found it yet though
