Hi I have a 51 Disco II Auto. I have a relatively new battery in the car (4 months) and it doesn't seem to holding its charge/charging at all!!. My wife said she had real issues locking the car whilst i was away, with the alarm going off at random times and the internal lights failing to go out when the car was locked. It was sounding the horn when a lock was attempted, signalling an unlocked door, however all doors were locked!!! i have no idea. The alarm is behaving but the batt still has the same issue........help? waht else could cause a crap battery.

The second issue is the air con. The system is fully functioning apart from the hot air...........i can't get any!!!!!!! and it's freezing for my nippers at the mo too. I have never had an issue with this before. I have read one or two threads wrt coolant, i have checked it and it's slightly low but has been for some time now and hasn't changed........help?

Finally the CD Multichanger just says 'NO DISC' and have checked and there is 4 discs and yes they are in the right way round just started doing it out of the blue!!!!!!?????!?!?!?!?


First thread, hope somebody can help .

First, get it to a local auto part store and have them perform a battery/alterbator load test to what is bad. While there buy 1 gallon of Dexcool anti freeze.
Pm me when you have done that and I will show you how to get the heater working again.

 

Sounds like you have a door that is not closing all the way. Let me clarify that, the door is closed but the truck does not think that it is, you either have a bad door stricker or that door just needs adjustment.
Now you need to figure out what door it is, the interior lights are staying on and that is draining your battery.
And when the truck thinks that a door is still open the alarm will not work.

As for teh CD changer...it took a dump. Or **** as you guys like to say. Ok, it went bad. You can buy a CD cleaning disc and try that.

You have a air pocket in your cooling system.
Do you have a petrol engine or a TD5?

 

guys alarm a/c maybe load reduction relay

 

Well since I am a idiot, lol, if you have something to input then go for it man!
I ahve no idea what the load reduction relay is, please explain.

 

Spike...

it's next to the Flux Capacitor...

...which is right behind the blinker refill reservoir.

 

GOT IT! Thank you for clearing that up for me. I do not know what I would do without you guys!
