Hi all, need to pick your brains, I have issues with my disco200 central locking system. when you press button on keyfob. it tales 3 or more pushes to get the the lock to actuate then 2seconds go by and it unlocks again, then sometimes the drivers door solenoid goes crazy flicking lock up and down then stops.
hope someone can follow me and help me as I am pulling my hair out with it.

Hi Disco 200TDI,

Your problem might be as simple as a low battery in the remote control, and so is only sending a week signal back to your disco. By pressing the control two or three times you could be just confusing the central locking and so unlocking a few secounds later.

Hi,
yes I tried a new battery in key fob but still same

It might be worth having a chat with the guys at http://www.remotekey.co.uk as they know their stuff when it comes to Land Rover alarms.

hello gent's. bought my second disco last wk on ebay,(wife put the last one on it's roof and wrote it off). i've spent days trying to get the bloomin locks to work properly until i found this forum. thanks for the advice, i've already ordered my springs on ebay, (£14.95 for 5).

I am unable to unlock the rear door from key fob, I have to open from inside handle, once open and shut I can lock all doors from fob, but once again can not open rear door from fob, all other doors open in sequence correctly. I had removed the lock, could not see anything wrong but lubricated with wd 40, put the plug back on the lock function, so I put the door together again, and checked it worked correctly, but as soon as I reported to my wife of the success it stepped working again. Can you help with this problem, do I need to buy a new lock. or is there sum thing I am missing.

Regards John

Hi John
Looks like you need a new lock.
This happened with my driver's door. New lock sorted it.

is it the lock ot just the actuator? As these are only a tenner or so from wizard - might be worth trying first?

I think we are talking about D2 2003 model here.

No probs - I'll leave it someone who knows what they are talking about then

The wiring is different - do you know where each wire goes.
Thanks
JT

Still sounds like a spring. all they do is tension an arm to stop it dropping down. Very small black things with 2 tiny arms. one of which hooks into a very tiny hole. One of these arms snapping off is the normal cause of the problem you describe.
Do you remember seeing these

help has any one got a pice of the dreaded drivers door lock and were the little spring gose please as its doing the wifes head in having to use the key aswell as the remote when shopping
