Driver Door Lock Problem
Hi Joey, Have not been able to spend much time on computer...but got your reply: "Ok, if all are locking/unlocking with the key, then it may not be a wire issue, it may be the BECM may need a boot to the head (a visit to the dealer for a quick update) Nothing to worry about as long as you...- damnskippy

Driver Door Lock Problem
Hiya Joey, Yes, It only took me about 5 1/2 months to find the one to buy but I think I did pretty good. Regarding the lock on driver door, yes, I am able to lock it with a key. If this is a loose wire problem, I'll need to remove interior part of door (I know there are 2 main screws...- damnskippy

Driver Door Lock Problem
Hi all, It's been awhile but I finally purchased a 2004 Discovery SE with 29,000 miles on it. It's the bonetti grey with alpaca interior and I really love it. It has 2 years complete Land Rover warranty on it, BUT, I live 4 hours to closest Land Rover dealer. Paid $14,000. When I was first...- damnskippy

Oil light - I'm scared!
Hi, Was just reading your post and you said: " My VIN falls into the oil pump Technical Bulletin - is this a sign of oil pump failure to come? Can it be beat by replacing the oil pump now? I'm still looking to purchase a 2004 Disco, how do I find out if a vin number falls into the oil pump...- damnskippy

New to LR3's have mileage questions...
Hey all, Have been looking towards an 04' Disco or 2006 or 2007 LR3. What mileage can I expect to get with an LR3 and do they require premium gas too? Has anyone ever used Powerchip (covered in the Disco forums) for LR3's to upgrade the ECU's? Thanks!- damnskippy

Truly "Happy" Disco owners- let me know if you exist!
Jonathan, I was wondering since you have a 7 seater, how much of the cargo space in the back is lost...more specifically, if jump seats are not down but locked into sides would one have a lot less room then with no jump seats? I really don't want jump seats but some of the '04's I have my eyes...- damnskippy

Maybe tempestv8 makes a good point...I welcome all points of view to my questions here. I was hoping maybe that tempest could expound further on why so many lukewarm about their decisions to own a Discovery. Thank you- damnskippy

I don't think I could approach that local car dealer about looking for a Discovery for me, not after he said such bad things about them and the fact that he's retiring. Maybe somebody will be buying his business and would be willing to- damnskippy

Truly "Happy" Disco owners- let me know if you exist!
I need to hear some good, positive, happy Disco owner stories- assuming they exist! Saw a local Jackson Hole car dealer yesterday, seems like everyone in the valley has a vehicle from him except me. He must be doing pretty well, he is retiring in another month or 2 at age 53 after being in...- damnskippy

Setting myself up to do this right...
Jonathan, that is a great chart you found- very useful. Thanks for finding and posting it. How's that '03 working out for you so far? You got all the bells and whistles on that one, didn't you? I hope it's bringing you much joy! Now, back to Joey, I still don't know what an ECU is (an...- damnskippy

Setting myself up to do this right...
Joey, Who and where would I get the ECU reprogrammed (I don't even know what that is)? If I purchase an '04 with still factory warranty should I take it to Land Rover to do and what am I actually telling them to do, should I just explain the driving conditions I will be encountering? Or, is this...- damnskippy
