Lazy Disco Retractor by der41

I recently purchased a 1998 Land Rover Discovery. I have found that the drivers' belt retractor is a bit lazy. When I release the buckle, the retractor does not pull the belt back to the stowed position. Any other Discovery owners experience this? Just trying to figure out if this is worth replacing.

I'm in the process of purchasing a 2002 Disco II, this is my second Disco II I've own. The vehicle is not near where I live and I was wondering if the offer, to look-up installed options, including ACE and engine size, is still on the table.
 
If so, the VIN number is: SALLTAM232A737655 and my email address is: jtad1991yahoo.com
 
Thank you

wipers and heat don't work...sometimes by Newroverowner

We just purchased a 2002 Discovery II.
 
1)The heat and the front wipers will not work sometimes. It happens occasionally and always the heat and front wipers at the same time.
 
2)There were a couple of times that when we put the vehicle in drive the dash instrument panel indicated we were still in park, when shifting the light on shifter remained in park but we are able to drive.
 
Any ideas of the causes?

HI,
irritating incidents. Should theoretically be an easy job to mend, but where to start?
The fault with the blower(heater) is obviously a bad connection somewhere. I think I would start with the fuse box in the engine compartment. Take out the fuses and check that the contacts are clean, check that the wire connection on the underside is well connected. Taking out fuse (#12?) will probably re-create the blower fault.
And then you know you have to look for a bad connection. If it is constant, however, it is easier as you can use a multimeter and measure the voltage at the fuse and you will therefor know if the fault is before or after. Unfortunately I do not have a electric wirediagram for the DII, but if you can put your hand on one you will easily find your way, I am sure.
 
The other fault. Again a bad connection (chicken connection) I would start at the gearshift to see if something has loosened there. Because the light on the dashboard is lit by a switch at the stick.
Good luck, and let's know

I would like to know the protocol for replacement of the spark plug wires for a disco 2. Do I need to remove the intake plenum? How do I check if the ignition packs are damaged as well. I have 122K miles on car now. Dealer wants $500 for job.

rear wiper arm replacement disco 2 by SickRover

Are there any replacements for the stock rear wiper arm (aftermarket) that would make it possible to find cheap blades available at any auto parts store? For that matter the fronts as well?

Make sure you have the truck checked! They all look very nice on the outside, but if the inside hasn't been takn care you will have some expenses besides regular maintnance. Take a look at the the wheel barrels , valve cover gasket and water pump those are the most expensive repairs. If everything checks ok I say go for it, and enjoy

I agree, for the past 3 years i have experienced nothing but problems with my discovery, leaving me in stranded situations and allways paying out, never enjoying the disco.
