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.

Mine does it 96 V8 ES, got a spring to fix it off ebay for £2 just need to get round to fitting it!!!
"Oh, they all do that Sir, it's a characteristic, not a fault blah blah blah...."

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

Hi, this is the link on eBay:
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!!
Now that would be classified as urgent!

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.
