Purchased Land Rover Discovery less then a month ago, since then the dash board looks like a christmas tree with the number of warning lights that are on. Was told by the dealer that the abs modulator was out and it would $3500. 00 just for the part, even though I researched it and found a repair kit for under a $100. However, the most recent warning light is the oil light and the car over heats in a very short amount of time, and knocks and bings. After reading the several post on this web sight, I too am now part of a long list of customers that have major issues with Land Rover. What a mistake it was.
2003 Land Rover Discovery abs/ traction control/ hill decent light remains on while driving, has affected thousands of Land Rover vehicles. I was told that it was the sensor. Like I said it has affected to many vehicles and people to just say that it was a minor mishap with some of the vehicles. It occurs almost every day going to work and do not have those options in use when on.
: the contact stated while driving 15 mph the brakes felt as if they were gripping while being applied. This in turn caused the contact to rear end another vehicle. The vehicle had minimal damage to the front end. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop. The electrical system and the head lights had to be replaced. The manufacturer has been alerted.
