Noddy your saying its the anti-theft ECU that gets its knickers twisted?

so what runs at THAT frequency?
apart from security cameras :roll:
(I was at least 40-50 metres away from the chemist--)

Pedro, if you were 50 metres away from the chemist then it is unlikely that the chemist was the problem and more likely the servo probably had similar scanners at their shop exit.

Nobby, 315 MHz is an open frequency used primarily for wireless domestic and automotive security systems and thats why both the disco’s frequency and the shop exit scanners are around the same frequency.

And Zook, the code only works when the dealer gives you the correct one in the first place.

I bought my series II disco from that anal retentive pack of crooks, Austral Motors in Brisbane and one many, MANY problems that mongrel pack of barsteds caused me was to give me the security code label for some other vehicle.

In a worst situation, LRA can give you the correct code for your vehicle, but for security reasons, it a big job getting it from them.

same thing happened to the wife's rangie :evil: :evil: :evil:

wrong code for the radio :roll: :roll: :roll:

and it was a real nightmare getting the right one ..........

Later P38 RRs switched to 433MHz to get away from interference problems. We used to have quite a few cars towed in from Carlingford shopping centre that would start right away in the workshop.

If the car was under warranty, LR would upgrade the locksets to 433MHz.

I'm getting nervous again - Austral's my closest dealer - how often does this immobiliser prob occur? What do you have to do to get it to occur? Forgive the dumb questions - Does this happen with the D3?

There have been articles and letters in LROI over the last few years speaking of this problem. From memory it was the object the vehicle was parked by interfering with the remote central locking button and the immobiliser not being deactivated or something like that. Matt

I have had my S2 Disco for about 3 years now. Same thing happened to me when i first got it . I rang the dealer & he told me to lock the car again, wait 20-30 secs & unlock it again. Sure enough she started no problems after that. It has happened a few times but now i Know what to do it isn't as painful. By the way, most times it has happened has been in the drive with no power lines,etc in the way. I think it is more of a central locking/alarm problem. This method sure beats pushing the thing anyway 8O
Hope this can help https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Discovery Series IIs parked outside the School of the Air here in Alice Springs almost always have central locking issues. I think it must be the massively powerful transmitters that they have there.

Funny thing is we talked aboiut this Saturday night https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

A friend has a d2 and if he parks it at the top of his borthers driveway it won't start. Push it to the bottom and all is well and off he goes... we haven't found out what is doing it yet... 8O :roll:

I think you will find there is a difference between pedro’s problem and the problem gofish is having.

Pedro’s problem is caused by an external radio signal over powering the signal being generated by his fob key transmitter.

This is not only a common problem suffered by Landy owners but is also something that effects other makes of vehicles but apparently not to the same extent as certain models of Landies.

Gofish’s problem is more likely to be an internal system fault or it could be as simple as incorrect use of the transmitter.

While I had my series II, on a number of occasions I turned my ignition to the ON position and the disco went into Limp Home Mode.

I would have to turn the ignition off and arm the alarm. Then after a short period I could disarm the alarm and start the disco.

I was telling another disco owner about the fault and he said he had the same problem until he realised that he was pressing the alarm button as he was turning the key in the ignition switch.

Sure enough, that must have been it and I never had the problem again.

Captain_Rightfoot, next time your friend is at his brothers place, ask him to see if the house has a TV antenna amplifier.

I use to make and fit remote controlled home security systems and we had a common problem with some of these devices.
