Default Problems Starting

Hi All

Purchased a 2000 Discovery 2 back in May this year, with a known immobilizer issue.

Since then, the following has taken place to try and solve the issue:

· · Replacement BCU, ECU sent away to be linked with new BCU and Keys – cannot open though using key fob, although LED is flashing so presume sending signal. Everything seems to work as it should except car will not start. Therefore…

· · Key Receiver in headlining replaced and relocated to prevent damp problems, wire earthling casing in new location.

None of this has seemed to work having got the new key receiver through today. The light on the immobilizer has also stopped flashing it appears on the dash since I last connected the battery, so wondering if its an issue there, but basically running out of ideas in regards to what I could be.

Your help in anticipation...

Watched the video.
Love your narration btw.
Could it be the ignition switch in the column has gone south? From what I'm seeing there (dash lights and lack of rapidly flashing LED) it doesn't look like immobilizer.

If you have access to a Nanocom or similar programmer you can just disable all the alarm/immobilizer stuff. If your truck is locked out immobilized then the Nanocom will not yet you communicate with the BCU.
