Thread: New Disco Issues!

Re the door locks.....it's not set to single point locking is it?
That's where you need to push the unlock button a 2nd to unlock the rest of the doors (for safety/carjacking reasons).

Thanks for getting back to me. I pressed the button twice to no avail. It might have had an effect on the driver side rear door, but not the others. I also made sure the child locks weren't set.

I just saw an old thread that recommended Jaycar for new actuators if they are indeed the problem: Slave Door Lock Actuator - Jaycar Electronics. Would these be correct?

If your doors are locking ok but not fully unlocking buttons pop up but not enough to open door from outside but if you pull button up from inside they open its a sign you need new door latch assemblies.

Google above and look for fitting instructions.

Done three on my D2 in last six month OSF NSR and tailgate

Best to use genuine new assys not cheap so shop around about £75 each in UK

Warning lights google (three amigos option

Hope this helps Pete

Thanks for the tip. From what I can see the door buttons aren't moving at all when I go to unlock them. I can hear the mechanism in the door, but they aren't popping up at all. They pop up no problem when I unlock them from the inside.

I just had another look, and both the back doors are a little tough to open when I have them unlocked. Basically when I pull the handle the latch isn't springing back so not sure if I also need a new spring or something for those, or whether WD40 would fix the problem.

I imagine I need two actuators for the passenger side doors though.

If possible, please get back to me with thoughts asap as I want to head out and try and find all necessary parts to fix the issue today.

Hi Discotrip, with your doors which are difficult to open from the outside when they are unlocked. I had this on my passenger door, fixed it by adjusting the door handle to latch control rod. The control rod has a plastic clip screwed onto it which clips to the door latch, unclip from the door latch then screw the plastic clip out a few turns. This means that when the exterior handle is pulled the control rod is pushing the latch release down a little further, if that makes sense.

Free fix if it works for you

Great, thanks for that. I'll have a look when I take off the panel.

Also, will the Jaycar acutators be good enough or can you guys recommend another place to buy them?

As above
You cant fit universal door actuators on a discovery 2.

Try removing the locks and blowing out with air and contact cleaner, sometimes works.
