ok W/R Disco 300tdi R reg , the immobiliser was playing up not earthing the start relay so I put a eath from the relay straight to a good eather point first time, that worked ok but as I said 2 weeks later the starter relay didn't work on checking there was no 12v on the W/R from the ignition...

after sorting out why I could not start my disco (no earth on the starter relay) wouldn't start again 2 weeks later, had to bump start(first time swmbo has ever had a bump start) any way found out no power on the r/w wire on the ignition switch so I've fitted a push start button onto the dash...

been thinking about this type of problem looking at the wiring diagram it look like the earth from the start relay goes to the immobiliser so the alarm system will stop the starter relay from energising, untill it's unlocked, seen that some folk have run a feed through a fused switch to the...

just had a look under the kick pannel driver side only a fuse box there ,on the passenger's side along with the green box (alarm) there are three relays 2 yellow mid one black none have the correct colour wires the mid one is for the abs pump , any one got an idea where the start relay is? peterz3
