Thread: 2014 Discovery

While picking my car up I heard and then talk to one of the sale men saying he had received a note from LR saying that they can not install LR bars on MY14 Discos - any model.

My salesman mentioned that the front sensors appeared to be in different locations to previous models. This could explain above. I am unsure if any change to rear sensor locations

So my question is:- does any one know whether there is now NEW issues with ARB bull bar installations and Kaymar rear bars with respect to the sensors for the MY14 .

I was also told that there could be warranty issues if other than the LR bull bar is fitted. A bit of a dilemma I reckon .

Richard

Edit: perhaps I should rephrase the question to "has any one installed a Kaymar rear bar and/or ARB bull bar with sensors to a MY14 discovery"

Richard,

Certainly no warranty issues.....it's actual illegal for them to make a statement like that, and a severe breach of the current trade practices laws.

Warranty issue only occurs if that part causes a problem. Then arb or ol would then have the issue to sort out.

The onus is on them to prove a part not supplied by them caused the fault.

I was given the same rot, in writing, about my Goe rims....bit silly them doing that, and once I pointed out their breach, they quickly clarified what they mean...and got that in writing too.

Thanks for that - it makes sense. I think my wifes car has a similar set up, I just hadn't thought to much about it before as she is the first in the car and the one who gets the phone calls.

It would be good if it would react to either one but I think that is a limitation of bluetooth.

On p200 they have info on checking the oil. On writing this I think I now understand.

Any way here is the info incase any other confused people like me

There is a display which shows you the oil level this is great and I have this on the TDV6.

However on this page bullet 2 it talks about adding oil:

"Add oil as instructed by the dipstick display (3.0 SD V6 and V6 petrol engines) or to maintain the level between the MIN and MAX marks or notches on the dipstick (3.0 TD V6 Diesel engines) "

As said I have the display so was wandering why I should then use the dipstick. I first thought I had to then go and pull out the dipstick as normal.

I believe what this means is that the TDV6 does not tell you how much oil is required, you have to determine this by looking at the notches in the DISPLAY


Funny enough on bullet 4 is states to wait 10 minutes before checking again for the SDV6 and 5 minutes for the TDV6.


On page 219 under replacement tyres
One of the points made here state "Do not rotate the tyres around the vehicle"

Once again on writing I think I understand. I believe this statement is true only when you have replaced a couple of tyres. If you have replace all the tyres I would assume normal rotation including the spare would/should occur.

Sorry about the above obvious points but I think I have been reading the handbook to much late at night. Things look different in the day as I have found when writing the above. If nothing else have a chuckle at a new paranoid owner trying to make sure all is OK. Perhaps i should go and have a drive.

MY14 Discovery 4, 7 seater TDV6.

That would be ideal.

Gotta love what this guy has achieved with his D3:
DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - D3/4 to all New MY14 2014 (B4) complete transformation

Yes it would be expensive here though.

Picking mine up on Tuesday, took advantage of the free on roads that L R have been offering. A little disappointed in the trade in though.
