One problem related to software has been reported for the 1996 Land Rover Discovery. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Gas tank recall done in san francisco but they failed to check the fuel filler neck problem. I have had multiple mystery issues ever since, ruling out the fuel tank and pump as they were both new. I have since tracked the problem to the fuel filler neck that the dealer failed to fix. I believe my vehicle to have been manufactured incorrectly and repaired in the same manner. My vehicle does not come up in a recall search for the filler neck and I believe the recall should be amended to include mine. I have read all 80 of the complaints relative to this problem and mine is less than 40 units away from the complaint vehicles. I also have been battling the abs problems of not stopping and the abs activation for no reason. I almost wrecked a few times because of the abs kicking on for no reason- low speed, dry pavement, easy soft brake pressure. I clipped the front wheel abs sensors and I have had no problems with abs since. Faulty software in the abs ecu is probably to blame but it would do no good to blame the computer with bodiers lying in the street.
