I have a 2008 plate Landrover Discovery 3 TDV6 SE
I am the original owner and the vehicle has clocked approx 210,000 km
engine is in top condition (runs like new), is regularly serviced and had only just been serviced some 3 months before these problems arose.
I have 3 problems which occurred within weeks to months of each other ( on more that say 3 months and possibly less)
these are:
Oil Warning Light
- Comes on usually after say 10 minutes but this can vary up to an hour
- stays on for varying periods of one to two hours on trips (otherwise usually on for shorter commutes)
- does turn off eventually but goes on again (only verifiable on longer trips for obvious reasons)
- I checked oil level as directed by my mechanic and found it to be full (the car only having recently been serviced)
I had my mechanic (who is a recommended Landrover specialist and a Discovery 3 owner) look at this and try some solutions which yielded no result other than his assurance (which I specifically requested) that no damage would occur to the engine the the but I fear I may be going down a rabbit hole with this.
Front Passenger Seat Belt Alarm
- This alarm triggers at varying times after initially starting the car say from 5 to 10 minutes and generally stays on even though the seat is unoccupied and has nothing on its surface
- I click the set belt in to overcome the problem
- I dont know whether its a faulty sensor or an electrical (i.e. wiring) problem
Low Wiper Fluid Warning on dash screen
- This is less frequent and intermittent but nevertheless began occurring at the same period in the above issues arose
- It can either temporarily appear or continuously appear by does not stay on for long.
- I checked wiper fluid as directed by my mechanic and found it to be full (the car only having recently been serviced)
The car is some 16 years old and I suspect the problems may be related to the electrical system as they all occurred at roughly the same time although this could just be a coincidence.
I'm wondering if any other users out there have had a similar experience because there appears to be no ready solution other than trying (and having to pay for endless solutions
