Disco central locking/alarm fob

Hi,

just bought a 300Tdi Disco, and have a problem with the central locking/alarm when using the fob.

When I try to unlock by pressing the button on the fob it unlocks, and immediately locks again. Moreover when locking with the fob, the alarm doesn't get actuated, when locking with the key it does.

Any ideas?

First thing is to replace the batteries in the fob and re-synchronise with the vehicle. A dying battery can cause all sorts of unusual problems.

Thanks for that.

Changed batteries and re-synchronised, but no difference.

I had a look at the actuator in the door, and after fiddling with it it works normally. Probably won't last but at least I know now where the problem lies.

Pieter, I'm breaking a 1990 Disco at the moment - would you be interested in the actuators ?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the offer, but I live in Portugal and it might not be worth it with postage.

Pieter,

There are some adjustable linkages inside the drivers door recess. Something at the back of my mind is nagging at me that if the one from the solenoid to the drivers manual lock/unlock handle (the bit that sticks out vertically close to the glass ... you know the bit I mean) gets slack then it can cause weird locking/unlocking symptoms.

Could be complete balderdash, of course :-))

Thanks, it is working for now, but if/when the problem reoccurs I'll have a look at that.
