Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Nothing happened to the Discovery today or any time recently actually, but about 2.1/2 years ago the EPB failed badly but was fixed under warranty. Job took about 4 days as they had to wait for parts from Sydney (I think) but I got a loan car from them so it wasn't a problem.
All done and working well.
Had the cars 100K service done recently by Dover Automotive (Dave Dover) in Wangara and his mechanic spotted that there were bolts missing from the hand brake cables and the module bracket. This was the day before we went off for a couple of weeks but the mechanic assured me there was no danger of things falling off so we went away anyway.
Earlier this week I went into see the stealers service manager and told him I didn't think it was very good.... if the bolts were fitted they shouldn't fall out, or if they weren't fitted, why not? No arguments from him and car booked in for Friday and on the ramp she went and all fixed in just over an hour.
Thanks from me to an alert mechanic at Dover's and also to the stealer for fixing it quickly whatever the reason it wasn't done properly in the first place.

I love Dovers. They are my trusted independent mechanic and have never let me down. Even better they’re only ten minutes from home

Just though I’d update you - Llama is doing well today - fed it a bit of diesel and oil although the exhaust is blowing a lot of hot air 😁

Finally finished install of my DIY drawer, fridge barrier and used the little area between the back of the fridge and the back seat to put the DC distribution board behind the back seats.

Haven’t figured out what to put in the compartment to the right of the DB yet..

Will eventually have parallel 2 way switching with the other switches at the back of the car for easier access but it’s a start.

Would it work as a recovery gear storage area (snatch, etc)?

Yes it would and you just gave me an idea for using the space behind my drawers .

The ply shelf will hold a water container and I think I can make a locker for the left to keep recovery gear.

Installed CarPlay today, using cambo’s kit.

Absolute ***** of a job, hardest bit being having to find a spot for the various cables and boxes it comes with behind the dash. Still, it works, and looks original which I love :-)
