Thanks again for your help! will try check em tomorrow- sorry for the sporadic replies- got a lot on me plate at the minute!

no- am not sure which is the ecu fuse!

Thanks againDiscool- just realized i posted an almost identical thread earlier and you helped me then too! that was before i got an auto electrician involved though! Could i just run a live direct from the battery to the ecu and, if i were to do this- do you know which wire is supposed to be...

Hi all- bought a V8 with no fobs 1 key and aftermarket Eureka immobiliser. i paid what can only be described as total monkey to remove this immobiliser and make the central locking and interior lights work again. They removed immobiliser but told me the c/l and interior lights wouldnt work still...

Thanks, Discool- much appreciated! :)

sorry Discool but to be clear- the fob 'reader' around the ignition barrel is not specific to a particular fob like the green box is?

plot thickens- the cental locking works when the car is running/immobilised and so do the interior lights. i tried plugging a known good green fob reciever box and tried unlocking the car with the correct fobs (these from my everyday 300tdi) and got nothing. i reckon the immobilizr os to blame...

I got exactly the same problem! did you find anything out?

and thanks for your replies! much appreciated!

Hi just bought another Disco- an S reg V8 auto this time and am very happy with it...juuuust a couple of things niggling me though for now- i only got one key- this works in all the locks/ignition but the central locking isnt functioning at all. Also i didnt get a fob. I have a few old 300tdis...

if you cant fix it can do send you a corner for 15 notes.

Will try swapping the prop- have few spares. Donut was new under 12month ago..

Hello- got a 300tdi disco 1 manual and getting a good clunk (which i think is coming from the front axle) when i let clutch up and take up drive. there's also a lot of lurching when its on the overrun- drive round a car park in 2nd and the car lurches forward - very hard to keep the drive...
