Hi
After dropping my son off at school this morning I couldn't get the key to turn in the ignition lock of my 96 Disco - it's a problem which occurrs rarely. After about15 minutes of fiddling I finally got it to work but then found that the engine would turn over but not fire up - I assume because the immobiliser had cut it. I know from my Haynes manual that the immobiliser cuts in automatically when the vehicle is left even when it's not locked, but should cut out when the alarm key fob is sensed by the vehicle. After about another 15 minutes it finally started as normal.
Can anyone explain what happened please?
Regards
Tony
