    Would the rear windows not working be a RWC issue?

    Just wondering because I just got my Disco and it came with a current RWC but the rear windows don't work. I know it'll be an easy fix from all the help and advice I've got so far but just wondering if that's something that should be checked with the RWC?

    It is something that should be checked but they rarely do, I drove around for 3 years with a lump of timber holding up the drivers side passenger window and was never checked once.

    Wonder what happens if you took a deep dunking and were drowning and could open up the windows

    Don't know if they should check that or not but, like you, I got my disco with a road worthy a few weeks back and the back window doesn't work.

    no, you only have to be able to open close lock and unlock the doors for it to pass roadworthy.

    if you dunked the car and it was so far under that you were at risk of drowning the pressure on the windows would be holding them so firmly to the rails that they wouldnt wind down or open anyway.

    As discos generally go down nose first your best bet would be to open the rear door (providing you dont have a cargo barrier) and exit that way.

    That said it usually only takes about 2 minutes for the vehicle to sink and its only usually the last 20 seconds or so of that that you will be under water, relax, dont panic, undo your seat belt, brace your self up against the door, release the lock crack the handle so the door is ready to open and wedge it open with your hip...

    mythbusters has this covered.
