Disco 3 Starting Issue

[EDH]

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue;

My disco 3 (V8 petrol) wouldn't start so I checked the battery, it was flat so I recharged it and still wouldn't start.

I got a new battery and it still doesn't start, all of the dash lights come on it does its system check ok then when I turn the key I get a small click in the fuse box (glove box I think) and starter but the park brake light cuts out on the switch and the battery light blinks on the dash.

Does anyone have a check list for electrical start up faults please
(all fuses look ok in the engine bay)

No idea? Sorry. Have you tried a hard reset incase the low voltage has confused the carputer. I (and I'm sure everyone) get similar symptoms when not waiting long enough to go from "on" to "start"(for the system check to complete).

Checked your earth to the chassis?

Thanks for the responses, I took my car for a service and asked them to look into it.

They couldn't find anything however I just happened to have a spare key that needed reprogramming and this fixed the issue.

The tech did say that he did see a code flash on the computer when he was starting the vehicle something to do with the engine immobiliser/security.

Hasn't missed a beat starting since

I had the non start issue again. Coming home from Sydney I stopped to refuel and left the key in the ignition. On starting - no progress -warning lights go dim. After several versions of trying to start I finally got out and locked and unlocked with the remote and its all joy. Has Bill Gates bought LR on the quiet???
