if Anyone that has Had The Same Issue Could Respond , it would help allot.
thanks
i have seen details on line about cleaning the fuse panel, is this both the interior and engine bay together? take each fuse out and clean them or better to replace each fuse and clean the contacts inside?? The electrical problem wiht our drivers seat is the biggest problem , it is stuck now forward, no power??
can anyone help ???
was there a recall for the ABS issue??? :lemon:
Any ideas anyone? Don't really wanna pay LR to diagnose that one ~
I had the same problem with my wife's Disco II. The dealer calls it an ABS sensor problem, needing replacement of both wheel sensors. I would also suspect a problem with worn out brake pads. Good luck!
Diehard DIY'er :P
** Has anyone had problems with windshield wiper arm tension (springs)??
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Since the problems mostly seemed to happen when it was wet or cold, I had a hunch that the problem was with the lubrication of the door latches and the locking mechanisms. I thoroughly sprayed the door latches with WD-40. I also used WD-40 to lubricate the all the links and moving parts connected to the power door locks. (This requires removal of the interior door panels to provide access to the door lock mechanisms) Since lubricating the latches and locks, my door problems have disappeared. Proof once again that WD-40, like duct tape, is a life saver.
I'm thinking of buying a disco, but I'm a little nervous nothing postive about the car.
Hope this helps,
You just made my day...I really want a Disco, and now I feel much better. Its' funny I have a 02 Honda CRV and yes it's safe, but it's not fun...
Thanks Again
Good luck and let me know what you do!
The ETC (Traction Control) performs in a way that I do not
believe is 'as designed'. I was able to test its performance thoroughly the other day by positioning the vehicle (unable to move forward) on a slippery/grass & snow/ice covered incline, in LOW and 1st (in manual mode)and idling at about 600 rpm. Alone, I actually walked around the driverless vehicle while in gear and observed the ETC clicking as it does diverting power to find traction. IT would only spin on the drivers side, and not divert to the right side....although both front and rear were spinning on the drivers side. I realise that there are a myriad of issues at play here...does anyone have a full proof way to verify that the ETC is operating properly....other than going to Land Rover themselves?

We have 35,000 miles on our 2003, and have had virtually trouble-free driving all the way. On a just completed trip through NM, AZ, UT and CO we averaged 16.37 mpg. Lots of highway driving, but also lots of city driving in traffic clogged Mesa/Phoenix.
We ran into snow, lots of neat off-road trails, and high mountain passes. The Disco managed to handle them all. Also, quite comfortable for us for all day driving, which I would not have expected when we bought the truck new in 2003.
Land Rovers are not for everyone, but if you appreciate the capabilities that a Disco offers, you should get many enjoyable go-anywhere miles out of one.

The '02's service record seems a bit sloppy which is probably why it ended up where it is though the collision work was done at the Rover's conglomerate shop (they're a multi-marque dealership.)
I'm waiting to see the '99. It's at the rover dealer having work done and I haven't looked at it yet. We'll see.
By the way, most of urban Canada doesn't use road salt but we do here in Buffalo.
Thanks

02 discovery II
Joe
Love the vehicle looks and ride, and have come to terms with the gas situation.....
Would love information from anyone who has knowledege of the discovery's regarding service/mech problems.
The one im looking at buying is from a local dealer, it has 90,000 kilometers.....very clean----$25,000 (canadian)
They offer a warranty......2 years or 60,000kl for 3,500...
I not sure how much the "westminster package" is worth, but apparently they are not readily available....?
Anyway, im on the fence with this purchase...i presently own a honda accord (great gas....no mech problems)....but having a 40th b-day this year, and just kinda want the land rover.....
Any advice either pro/con would be greatly appreciated....

Any suggestions. Thanks.
Is there a final fix for this? The dealer seems to do the same thing and I continue to have issues.
My question...does the Y connector that is on an angle marked "pump" with an up arrow actually go to the pump or is the shop manual correct. Can someone look under their functioning Disco's hood and tell me (or take a picture and post it).
Thanks.
Can't believe that the engine could be bad, because it runs smooth until it overheats.
Any suggestions
From what I understand the higher octane is necessary to ensure the engine does not become fouled.
It is also a good idea to use fuel supplements to ensure your engine is kept clean.
That is if you really care about your LR and want to keep it long term...if you are leasing or just don't plan to keep it, you can probably get away with it.
But I would certainly recommend against it.
