Wierd one today
burgerman:
Pulled into a Bp fuel garage on the A303, No fuel put in as only stopped for the cash machine, But was parked next to a pump, Gets cash and returns to car, Wont start :( So ulnocked/locked ect cranked over for ages but still no start :-k
so rolled it forward to the shop entrance to free up the pump and had a looky around, Nothing astray so called a recovery service, They turned up quite quickly Jumped in and bobs ya relative - it started fine :shock:
Tried restarting and stopping all ok, The recovery guy stated that petrol pumps and especially parking near hospitals, causes immobiliser issues due to the fact they both run a kinda anti static radio wave thing, He has known this on many occasions and usually just by rolling the car out of the way of the pump/area cures the problem
How wierd is that :-.
P.s the car was a TD4 freelander 2001

Yea Had something like that happen to me but it was by a big transmitter mast in dorset went passed it in me truck and everything died. While i was stoped waiting for recovery Another 4 cars that stop before going around me also died. When recovery truck came he just towed me about 10 foot up the road and she fired up fine. He said it happens al the time by the mast.

Hi
i have a Disco II, which i bought in australia and brought back here.
it was well known by disco owners in australia that you did not park near one chain of chemists as their security was on a frequency that would upset the discos, and there were certain masts that you could not park near as well!
regards
ela
