2010 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE Auto Barolo Black

I have a new one!

Goood morning forum!

I’m pleased to announce I’m back in the club with a new to me disco 4.
I’m 1k miles in after a week of ownership and loving life again.
Of course, there’s a few niggles I’m hoping to seek some help with;
1. Alarm is repeatedly going off unless I turn off alarm sensors each time
2. Rear windscreen jet doesn’t not work, instead it’s coming out of the front (no matter what controls on the stalk I use)
I slipped on the side step and booted off one of the plastics

so wanting to know where I can source some of the plastic retaining clips

Other than that, very happy all round. I forgot how versatile these vehicles are!

12 months of D3 ownership have passed and I’m still loving it!

Nice looking motor! Have a look on Advanced Factors as they do a trim clips selection pack (Ideal Christmas present

), has most stuff you'll need in there.. I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

So…
Took it in for a service yesterday to make sure she’s in tip top shape. She’s not

I have quite the list of issues to resolve before it’s MOT in March and I’m hoping to do a lot of the work myself, so be prepared for a million questions. Please see below…

Any suggestions on where to source parts and what to buy is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance 12 months of D3 ownership have passed and I’m still loving it!

Welcome back.

That's a fair list of jobs to be done. I assume you bought privately? If you bought from a dealer & would get them to fix all these issues without cost to you.

Advanced Factors are good for parts and provide an excellent service + forum discount:-

Good luck.

I would say not a bad list at all really, can”t quite read it all, but I would say rear upper arms is probably most awkward job on there, and they’re not that bad.
