    Driver Door Lock Problem

    How were you able to assertain that the door lock is probably not a loose wire problem, is it because other doors are locking ok? Just wondering. Thanks again Joey!

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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!

    Truly "Happy" Disco owners- let me know if you exist!

    Hi Flash Cook, No I've not yet purchased an '04 but would love to hear what you have to share about your experiences and also the extended warranty you decided on. Thanks!

    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...

    Truly "Happy" Disco owners- let me know if you exist!

    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

    Truly "Happy" Disco owners- let me know if you exist!

    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Setting myself up to do this right...

    I live right at the base of Teton Pass and am often driving over this thing, it can be rather daunting especially with bad weather: "Teton Pass (el. 8431 ft./2570 m.), is a high mountain pass located in the Teton Range near the border between southeastern Idaho and northwestern Wyoming...

    Setting myself up to do this right...

    What fluids (including but not limilted to coolents, lubricants, oils) and filters should I have on hand? Also, I've heard mentioned on the forum about seafoam and other additives, do those sound like those would be a good idea for me to have on hand as well?:confused: What fluids should I be...

    Thanks Joey, What "hoses" should I have on hand and exactly what is a Serpentine belt?

    Setting myself up to do this right...

    I first want to thank all of you on this forum for your time and super insightful help you are able to offer. You guys are golden. This will be a lengthy post, I apologize in advance. For those who have followed my saga along, I am in the market for an '04 Disco with under 50K on it and I...

    What would it cost to fix this?

    That's some good information there...so should I buy an '04 around 55K that will need to have this done or an '04 around 60-65K that's already had it done? I guess it all really depends on the history of the vehicle purchase and whether previous owner has miticulously maintained all services as...

    What would it cost to fix this?

    Well, I do have a local mechanic who works on LR's and seems trustworthy- I would like to learn to as much as I can myself but I am a complete novice. Could you please address this second part of what I asked before? I've copied it here: "Do people ever do that, take a vehicle to dealer...

    What would it cost to fix this?

    If I bought this or another 2004 Discovery that has appro. 45,000 miles and still some factory warranty on it, would it make sense to have a dealer check it out for what could go wrong before warranty runs out? Once I get vehicle to where I live in Jackson Hole, WY it is over 4 hours to get to...

    What would it cost to fix this?

    I think I'd prefer a factory bumper, what do you think that could run (parts and labor)? Do you think I could find one on internet somewhere, have it shipped and have local person put it on? Where would I look to view after market type bumpers? Thanks

    What would it cost to fix this?

    Hi again all, I was looking at 2004 Discoveries on Ebay (yeah, I know) but I came across this one that has some front bumper damage. Please take a look and tell me what you think fixing this would cost. I think the hood is ok, it looks a little weird in one photo because reflection of person...

    '03 or '04- Which one and where to buy?

    Jonathan, I think I will check them out, thanks for the information. Sounds like you got a good deal and I hope your rig will last you a good long time. I wonder about some listed on Ebay, can those Carfaxes be trusted you think? I found two mechanics locally who work on Land Rovers (among...
