Hi again. Thanks very much for all your help, I sold the car today for £3,300, to a chap who saw the ads I'd placed in the car's windows. I think that's a fair price considering its tax, mot and service are all due. He's fully aware of things like the windows, I'd made a list of every minor...

Ok I think I found the problem. There's power to the rear door switches, so I went to check for 12V at the motors. Here's what I found: Either Land Rover have invented the world's first invisible regulator/motor, or whoever converted it back from commercial to passenger use wasn't...

Ok I've tidied up the loose ends and closed the fusebox up, whatever the problem is it isn't the relay as I swapped it for one under the bonnet and still no joy. I pulled back the trim surrounding the console switches, and pulled them out. Someone has been in there and played around with the...

Nah, they've never worked. Mind you I've only had the car a couple of weeks, it was my father's and I'm selling it on my mother's behalf. I have a family interested, but it will sell better if everything is working. I haven't yet tested for power at the console or doors, I don't want to start...

Ok I found some fairly horrific wiring under the steering wheel: The car has an aftermarket stereo so I think perhaps someone has bodged things together. I haven't a clue what does what. I pulled the 30A fuse for the rear windows, that's fine. I also pulled the yellow relay and gave it a...

Thanks mate, I'm on it now. Don't suppose you know what those wires do?

Hi there I'm trying to track down a fault on this Disco I'm selling. The rear windows don't wind up or down, either at the console or on the doors. A bit of searching reveals a common dry joint problem at the window ECU, so I went behind the glove box on mine looking for this ECU, and haven't...

Hi again I HPI'd the vehicle and there's a mileage discrepancy: 19-Nov-2002 Manufacturer 65,000 65,000 02-Apr-2004 Manufacturer 134,997 134,997 26-May-2005 DVLA 62,000 62,000 08-Jul-2005 Manufacturer 62,285 62,285 21-Apr-2006 NMR 52,000 52,000 21-Apr-2006 NMR 62,000 62,000 22-Nov-2007 NMR...

The rear seats work fine, I just tested both by twisting the grip :) I'd never have figured that out :)

Thanks for the advice guys.

Oh another question, how exactly do I release the two small rear passenger seats from their locked (seated) position? I have one down, but I can't get it unclamped from the floor. There's a lever on the side but maybe the mechanism has stuck? I've left the other one folded up in case that one...

Hi there I'm selling what was my dad's Disco (he died earlier this month) on my mother's behalf, but I have a few questions about minor jobs I think need doing. 1) Instrument binnacle lighting - there's a bulb out near the fuel gauge, and the digital odometer etc isn't backlit 2) Rear...
