Hi all
I'm new on here and new to land rover ownership just a few days ago I traded my jaguar xf for a 2006 discovery 3 tdv6 hse auto.
Has everything I wanted but after just a couple of hours of owning it the seller has blocked all my calls ect and it seems to be failing me more and more every day. please forgive me if I'm not allowed to post on here.
I have a problem and I'm pulling my hair out its driving me mad.
The whole radio and nav system closes down and comes back on whenever it feels like it about every 30 - 60 seconds.
I get a relay click from fuse box area when switches on and off and randomly will either come on with door unlock or ignition and sometimes won't.
Iv checked all fuses and connections on back of the head unit and the screen and nothing to see.
I'm really hoping to find some help on here as I'm at a total loss and rapidly falling out with a car that I really wanted
The radio when it's on works as it should as well as the touchscreen and all volume ect the display also comes up and says phone disconnected everytime it powers back on but not sure if that's normal or not as its never stayed on long enough to attempt to connect a phone.
Iv just tried a hard reset and all that seems to have done is stop the o/s/r door from unlocking so can't open from inside or out
I also have a slight hunting/surging when driving the revs go up and down and its really annoying.
I'm beginning to think iv bought a lemon.
I really wanted a disco and now after just a few days I'm beginning to hate it.
Thank you in advance and I'm hoping for any help at all
Cheeky fooker, it ay rotten just a bit...scabby with...rot...
Hmm dunno then, mine's manual, only experience I have of the autos is driving a fellow forumer's (?) who suspects his torque converter is poo, I can relate it to what you're saying about yours but it needs diagnosing properly. Could be worth banging some dr.tranny in the box (hurrhurr)
Have you had a look at www.disco3.co.uk ? Loads of info and tech advice, I'm gonna tag @gstuart r.e your electrickery, he's a bit of a guru on here
Thanks at least iv got a few things to try now.
Iv got the battery on charge over night so il check it all over in the morning.
The one thing I really don't understand with the fault is that with a tester I to the wiring at back of head unit theres no loss of power or earth when it goes off which made me think it must be the head unit but then why would the sat nav screen go off as well.
Nothing seems to be logical with this thing lol
