Good day folks I need a little help before taking my Land Rover to the Stealership that's backed up till Dec 15th. I had a great running Disco 1 about a week ago and noticed my interior dash lights not working. So started removing fuses to check blow ones and also checked and removed the ones in the engine bay. I try to start the truck and nothing happens. I then decide to lock the truck and know I see the red dash flashing fast and then slowing done. I bought a Foxwell NT520 code reader thinking I could pull the EKA code no luck. Is there any code reader that a DIY can rent or purchase to de-activate the cars immobliser. Note purchased truck Aug 2018 with a key fob.

 

Start first by checking your battery for voltage with a meter, check for corrosion on battery cables, loose or corrosion on both ground cables (cable 1-battery to body, body to chassis, and cable 2-chassis to engine). Most common place to start checking on a D1.

 

 

The lack of dash lights is due to a problem in your tail lights. The system is actually set up that way. Check all bulbs and connections on the tail lights.

The very separate issue of the truck being 'dead' is that the truck was immobilised by the alarm system. Generally you can use the fob to lock/unlock the system.

If not you may need to enter the EKA (Emergency Key Access) code. On the D1 the code is likely to be 1-5-1-5. Instructions here....

the key fob will not re-set the alarm?
