Hi,
I have a 2000 Discovery TD5 and have noticed that I have a part
missing from the front sunroof, which may explain a long term problem
that I have had with it leaking. Unfortunately, when I went to my
local Land Rover dealer they couldn't see the part that's missing on
there system!!
Now for the difficult bit, trying to describe the missing part. The
best way to describe it is as a cam follower. There's one part (let's
call it past A) of the sunroof which is connected to the handle and
moves backwards and forwards as the handle is turned. There a second
part t(let's call this part B) that connects to the glass and has a
plastic part with a grove in it that acts as a cam to lift the glass
as the sunroof is opened. Now the groove in part B is bigger than the
spindle on part A that fits into the groove. On one side is a part
that fits on the spindle and fills the groove, but this part is
missing on the other side.
This would explain the leak that I've when one side of the vehicle has
been on a slope and it ha rained.
Any helping tracking down the missing part would be greatly
appreciated.

PS. Anybody who read the thread on a problem with a leaking ACE
system, well the car is in the garage tomorrow so I'll provide an
update when it's been fixed.
