No. So unless there is a timer unit somewhere set at 10 minutes 🤔 then I would suspect an iffy light switch or intermittent wiring connection.

As aways now, expect questions on issues with the D1 & 2 have already been asked on LR forums https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/discovery-2-tailgate-lock.127980/

Just pop into the the main dealer and pickup a free accessory catalog for the DS, or as we can nowadays just Google 😊 https://accessories.landrover.com/gb/en/discovery-sport/carrying-towing/carrying/vplcr0137-roof-rails-silver-finish-panoramic-roof/

Other faults with the fob that will give issues is, iffy button micro switch's which can be replaced, if your careful, and battery terminals at their joint with the PCB

I've just found my second key and this one has enabled me to open and close the vehicle remotely! I'm a bit ashamed because I should have thought of that first. So my problem is really with the key and not with anything else. I'd like to say a...

The Wanner gun has an air release valve, so no issues there. 😊

I purchased mine back in 1966 when I purchased an MG which had grease nipples on the steering. Still have it for my disco now fitted with a flexi spout to make things easygoing around both props.

I'm almost certain that here is no MAP sensor on this system. The ECU uses a full range throttle potentiometer to determine a load signal. You will need to check for flash codes. The 14CUX ECU was a primitave unit so if you have an engine light...

Your central locking operation is simple to the D1 as much the driver’s door lock is called a master the others are called slaves so when the drivers door locks or unlocks the others follow, its a long while ago but the D2 forum was full with...

The good news the mechanism appears ok, but the standard procedure as stated in the owners handbook is when locking with the key in the driver’s door lock you must always unlock via the fob otherwise the alarm will activate, and that isn’t ? ☹️

Best to decide if it’s mechanical or electrical. Mechanical issues were known with either the locking or unlocking motor, both are housed within the drivers door lock, the issue was resolved. When locking or unlocking do u hear any sounds. For...

The retaining screw is to ground the receiver against possible electromagnetic interference, the item’s functional earth is within the loom, possibly a black wire.

Anything can be cut out with a Dremel, it's only a plastic moulding

All you will find regarding a heat shield under the vehicle it will be bolted to brackets below the floor and positioned above the mid exhaust box, although some times with after market mid boxes it attached. If with the D2 you need the heater...

Don't forget the D1 transfer box is rod operated unlike the D2, worth a check if that still correct.

And the belt goes like this? Clearly there is a bit of slack on the tensioner in my diagram!

The model year of your vehicle plus the model of head unit would be helpful, so my info is based on the 95MY. otherwise go to the amplifier and prove what you find back to the birds nest at the dashboard. The answer to your question is None. The...

That is the correct belt routing for a 3.9 without an AC compressor. The disco1 3.9 was never fitted with carburettors, anyway the 3.9 has two belts to pick from, ERR4623 and ERR5579 if fitted with AC… also as always its depending on engine...

Many thanks for your reply, spent a couple of hours outside, learning the system. the micro switch and cam seem fine, not loose at all so traced the wiring to the central locking module. It appears that the CL module is therefore his immobiliser...

Ok you have an understanding on what is involved.👍 You may know that 1994MY was disco a change over year when the 300series was introduced with the updated ‘passive’ immobiliser so a change from the previous active system. 1994 200series had a...

Ok, so deactivating as you are suggesting, the door micro-switch is at the rear of the door lock, check that the re-mobilising function is either with the switch ‘open or closed’ and make that one permanent. With any luck, u may find its as...

STC4378G G = genuine part, the pump can seen behind the radiator when the cowling is unclipped from the top of the rad.

3.5 or 3.9, serpentine belt, or not ? Also a photo of the existing item will be helpful .

Sold to someone thought it was a bargain

The link below may be of interest to you although the are more available, as I expect you have the 4.0 or 4.6 engine fitted to your disco, and if so then I believe that the security system is coded specifically to the vehicle, which will add a...

1. The flame trap is or was a service item and replaced when I had my RR by the main dealer service dept. Fo the ten years I owned it. When I started doing my own service on my disco I fitted a new replacement and with the old one cleaned in...

Hi, the resistor is fitted on a heat sink/bracket which is mounted on the rear engine bay bulk head, or was when the vehicle left the factory, there is only one double pin plug, so just remove from its socket and tape it up and leave it at the...

Around the time the 3.9 was in the showrooms then, also the exposed front door hinges disappeared at the same time, plus a new dash, just some of the things I saw when having a ‘nosey’ when my RR fitted with a smooth spoiler was in for its service.

Depending on how you rate originality the 6 vent slot spoiler was introduced in Oct. '89 & this is the only version that I assume is still available new. An '89 prior to that month should have the earlier 4 slot version, which in turn superseded...

Thanks Norseman, Discool and Ratae for your input. You are of course correct, my error calling them fog lights! I have just spent a while understanding that they only come on with the main beam.:rolleyes: Interesting top tip on the rear fogs...
