Hi, Can anyone help??
I have a 98 Tdi300 Disco with issues. I have been reading all day but cannot really find where the problem lies.
The problem. Firstly, the central locking via the FOB was erratic until it finally died. I replaced the battery in the FOB without helping!
Then, the bloody car wouldn't start unless I locked the car with the key and then unlocked it. That works "Most" times!
When I stop the engine and get out of the car and back in again the immobiliser stops the engine cranking again and I have to get out and lock the car and unlock it to get it to crank.
I have pulled out the immobilisor and checked it and it seems good. I checked the solder joints and reheated a few iffy ones but, nothing has changed.
I have "looked at" the relays and they all seem OK but, I don't know how to check relays to prove they are OK!
All the fuses are OK and now I'm lost! The Unit is a Lucas 10AS ECU. Also, this car doesn't seem to have the "Spider" behind the radio as many have written about. I have pulled the dash out for nothin!!
I'd be happy to hard wire the Unit to bypass the immobilisor but, cannot find anyone who shows the way.
Anyone help please??
