    Strange

    I have read over the years of the many crazy things that go on with the P38 electrics. I have observed and can replicate on a regular basis two odd occurrences.
    I work at Various telephone exchanges which always seem to have untold aerials transmitting god knows what. At one if I leave the car within an hour it is always sitting on the bump stops, EAS kicks straight in when I start the car with no problems.
    Second site I have been to 3 days this week, each day after leaving the car locked the remote wont work and when I try to start the car "engine disabled" comes up with no cranking.
    A lesson here to all is to have the unlock code always to hand, on each occasion I was able to reset everything within minutes and drive off. I wont be parking within that exchange again.

    When I worked as a signaller on the railways, at certain locations the remote central locking would never work. I always had to use the key.

    Dunno. I took redundancy from them 10 years ago.

    There's one spot in Bendigo that does the same thing too. If I park to close to Supercheap Auto, the remote won't work - anywhere else is fine.

    Funnily enough, I was just talking to a mate this morning who used to have a 2000 Disco. Everything lit up when driving past some of WAs big telephone transmitters. Also, at Sydney Uni, if you lock your car with the remote, you may not get it open again except with the key... and this is with all cars, not just landies!
