I just purchased my first '99 Discovery and can't seem to open the
right side rear door. At first I thought it might be just the child
locks but it doesn't open from the outside either. Any help would be
appreciated.

Get some one to hold up the button on the door while you open it if this
works (and it should do) then take it back to where you got it and tell
them to fix the rear door lock.

Hi Staffbull, I hear this may be a common problem. Which spring is it
that is the culprit? Mabey mines got the same bug.

Thanks staffbull, I'll try my luck. 3 bidders on one presently. You'd
think a recall would be in order with these kinds of numbers!

LR are usually snowed under with more urgent recalls - I think there is one
on the newer td5's at the mo something to do with the fuel line being
chaffed through!!

This happened to our 01 Disco the day after we left for a 3 week driving
holiday to Fraser Island in Queensland. It was on the front passenger door.
Pain in the butt to need someone to open my door all the time. It was fixed
under warranty when we reached a large town but they had to order the part
in. Good luck in fixing yours.
