Hi i am new to this forum as i just bought a Discovery 3 for the wife. We have a problem with it but it only happens now and then, but more so when it's hot. It will all ways start 1'st thing, but after a long trip if you turn it off and try to restart it, it won't start. The immobilizer light on the dash stays flashing every 3 seconds. Take the key out and put it back in still the same. After about 10/15 times of trying it will start, or leaving it for a sort time it will start. Can any 1 help please as it is doing are head in as we really like the truck and don't want to get rid of it. Thanks Dave.

 

If you want a trouble-free "fire and forget missile" type car for the wife...the LR3 ain't it. Right now getting rid of it sounds like a smart move.

I'm thinking that your Inertia Switch (or whatever it's called) is the culprit. I've never had this issue though (knock wood) so I'm not sure.

 

Inertia Switch? can you enlighten me more on what it does and where is it to be found on the car. Thanks for your input. Thanks Dave

 

Possible starter going out.

 

I don't have my manual handy so I simply Googled it. Try this:

Thank you for your help.

 

You're welcome.

 

Think we have got to the bottom of this problem. It was the fuse box at fault.

 

Think we have finally got to the bottom of this problem. It was the fuse box at fault.

 

For future help of folks -- Can you expand on what was wrong with the fuse box and what you did to fix it?
