Land Rover Repair/Alarm ECU & key fob

Question
Back in Aug 04, you answered a question in relation to a 95 Disco alarm.My Disco (SALLJGBF7MA088096) wasn't fitted with one, but  I'm looking to find a LR alarm instead of splicing an aftermarket into the wiring loom. I've inspected the wiring, and all the necessary plugs are in place. It may be that I will have to reprog a mixed set of ECU & Fob - could you describe the 95 single button reprog sequence?

Thanks
Langy

Answer
Hi Langy,

here it is :

Must be completed within 8 seconds from start.  A two-person job and have remote key fobs available.

Open hood and have volunteer hold hood alarm switch down.

Inside Disco, with all doors closed, make sure ignition switch is off and all door lock buttons up.

Turn ignition switch on (setting II) then off.

Assistant now releases the hood switch.

Turn the ignition switch (position II) on then off.

IF DONE RIGHT, HORN WILL SOUND ONCE AND DASH LED WILL LIGHT UP.   This indicates the "Learn Mode" portion of the security system is activated.  IF THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN, START ALL OVER AGAIN.

IF in the "Learn Mode", push and hold the first remote button on the key fob.  The dash LED should flash 8 cycles a second for one second - indicates code accepted.  IF NO FLASHING - START OVER.

With the 2nd key fob, push and hold the button until the flash is seen.  AGAIN, if no flash is seen, start over.  IF you have only one key fob, press the button for a second time.  THIS SEQUENCE requires two key fobs.

Once performed, the system should be armed and ready.

IF at any time you turn the ignition on, it will cancel the whole process.

Best of luck,

Owner of a Discovery. I've had many mishaps with our Disco but I still like this vehicle. Talk to a fellow LR owner instead of a dealership rep. I'm not in this for the money. I'm just an owner who wants to help others.
