Weird/odd fault (?) with central locking

(1/3) > >>

JumboBeef:
I have an issue with my central locking, but I'm not sure it is actually a fault (I know that sound silly).

The central locking/alarm on my Disco works perfectly, not issues at all.  Not long after getting it 18 months ago, I noticed that when you unlocked it, the indicators would flash once, but the courtesy lights didn't come on: something which happened on another car I used to have so I was looking for the function.  About three or four months ago, the indicators stopped flashing when you unlocked but the courtesy lights came on instead  :-.

The indicators always flash three times when you lock it: this hasn't changed.

It stayed like this for a month or so, then went back to indicators flashing/no courtesy lights for no reason (that I could see).

Now, yesterday, it has gone back to no indicators/courtesy lights  :?

So, my first question is: what is supposed to happen when you unlock it?  Flash indicators/switch courtesy lights on/both?  Do I have a fault (and if so, how do I fix it) or have I entered some sort of weird valet mode?

(I do lock the car from the inside sometimes, when we have the dogs on board and travelling at speed).

Thanks!

It's a land rover, wouldn't expect anythink diferent. Does it go wading???

JumboBeef:
No, it's never been off-roaded, ever!  It is the shiney one we have, it even gets washed!  The Defender is the mucky one!

JumboBeef:
Come on guys, can't someone go and unlock their Disco and tell me what the indicators/courtesy lights do?

Please?  [-o<

marky:
I've just been out to check mine for you (P reg 300tdi). When I unlock it the indicators flash one long flash and courtesy lights come on, when I lock it I get three short flashes. I used the remote key fob, should really have checked what happens if the key is used, sorry.
