Hello. Just after some advice on my disco 2, any insights would be really helpful. Many months ago our disco 2's immobilizer and key fob system stopped working. The only way to enter and start was to enter security code through drivers door via the keys. After some research mostly done here...

well thanks people....not sure what it was other than fault with ABS wiring..this morning i disconected all sensors...made no difference....reconnected and had a coffee....now all is fine...so thank you for all insight and will no doubt talk soon:eek::eek::):)

yeah yeah ...sorry suffering from attention deficit ....was more thinking of safety than mechanical usability.. anyway am jst waiting for the wife to get up an i'll be starting work on her..the disco not the wife!!! will keep you updated, you have at least given me some where to start

wiil she still drive with sensor disconnected???

aahhhh the wonder of hind sight...knowing the the hub was fecked.. unbelievable amount of play i just cut the old sensor of (was getting in the way during removal....(i won't tell the wife that bit) :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

yeah gto ya...just that the hub came with sensor assembly so i judging them as one unit..

yes me and the amigos are becoming quite friendly....they appeared along with he other signs that led to hub replacment......they are still there now so i assume the hub and poss my work skills are to blame..was kinda hoping that the new problem was unrelated.....and had just hoped the timing...

simples...:eek::eek::eek: so if i disconecct abs lead from new hub and wheels stop locking its the new hub with a fault fecking the whole system.... (think i may need a bigger hammer)..;);)

does anybody think this could be a handbrake fault, both rear wheels lock up after only a quarter turn....but the noise from the block has me really worried

yeah got there in the end....thank you:rolleyes:

electronic brake distributor...ahhh the power of google..:D

and sorry if i'm being a bit thick but what is the EBD

thanks will get that checked in the morning although it was a front hub i replaced .. could this affect the rear axle/brake??

Finally able to get new front hub and after negotiations with the hammer managed to get it fitted - all, seemingly, went well... took it out for a test drive and found that there was hardly any acceleration in 1st and 2nd gear - it was like being pulled back - and was quite 'jumpy'. Pulled...
