AboutJohn McInnis Expertise Land Rover Discovery.
I've had most of the common mechanical failures, altenator, water leaks, wiper failure, door/hinge problems, roof rust, floor rust, loads of electrical problems. Remember, I'm not a dealer or a mechanic, just an owner like most of you.
Experience
Experience Owner of a Discovery. I've had many mishaps with our Disco but I still like this vehicle. Talk to a fellow LR owner instead of a dealership rep. I'm not in this for the money. I'm just an owner who wants to help others.
Question My discovery rear windows are both not working,the centre lock out switch hasn't shorted or fused.I find it strange both windows aren't working.Suggesting a common fault?.any hints on where to start would be appreciated.thanks.
Answer Hi Tony,
sounds like the window lift ECU, not sure damaged due to corrosion (water leaks) or just bad soldering. All are very common on LR's.
You'll have to pull the lift ECU out and check the solders for micro cracks. If so, its an easy process to resolder and replace.
Here's a website that has an excellent description of the job with fine photos.
I hope this is the case for you as the fix is inexpensive and easy enough for DIY'ers like us.
This was done on a '96 Disco and should apply to the '94 and '95 Disco's too.
To add to this fine document, refer to the ETM for series I Disco's, pps 373 to 382. If you don't have a RAVE CD, send me an email and I'll see what I can do.
