    Does work though, and only took a couple of hours, though the door came off in just 10 minutes, the rest was fitting the replacement door!

    Unable to Open Rear Passenger Door

    Managed to fix, though not as I hoped, took a chainsaw to the door, cut it in half, then pulled it apart using sheet metal cutters and a few large hammers, fitted new door! Now OK..

    Unable to Open Rear Passenger Door

    Thanks dragon walker but is not the rear door that's the problem, is the passenger side rear door, and the catch itself that seems to be stuck or broken.

    Unable to Open Rear Passenger Door

    That sounds like it should be what I have, but the mechanism does seem to move with both the outer and inner handles, and the. Hold lock level can be moved to either position. The only thing that I can think has happened is that something has broken or come off under the plate that is to the far...

    Both handles seem to work from what I could see, just cannot see the locking mech. from the small hole left of the internal handle, I was hoping there is a way to release the catch somehow?

    Central Locking Fun! i.e. Not Working!

    I have picked up an old Discovery 1 for something to do, i.e. a project car while I am waiting for a chassis for my real project (Defender 110 1991 Rebuild). I have the following problems with regards to central locking : 1. Using the Keyfob only the rear doors and the passenger front door...

    I am going to try Island Express, but I have to gett he weight and dimensions etc, from Marshland first and then see what hey will do, and if they work out dear then i will have to try Mezeron then.. Trailer would have been cheaper if it was 1ft less, mind you if I leave it 5 mins and ask for...

    Marshland or Richards Chassis?

    Just got a final quote from Designa and they £1139.20 for delivery alone, and there chassis is also £200 dearer than the competition... though they did say they would ship to the ferry for £100, but as the cost of a return trip off the Steam Racket Ferry with a trailer is £695 it not that helpful!

    Imobilizer Disable for Good?

    I honestly don't care about Central locking or Alarm, I do do without either, never lock my cars anyway! But it is a diesel 300TDi. I have searched the web but there seems to be a lack on info on this subject, and it seems a shame to just scrap the vehicle, but thats what I will have to do if I...

    Imobilizer Disable for Good?

    Is there a way to disable the immobiliser on a Discovery 1 1998 for good, I have been caught out 3 times now in the last month, each time costing me £75 to get the key fob reset to the car! Really getting fed up with this... Is there a way to get this switched off for good!

    Marshland or Richards Chassis?

    I don't have an issue welding a new chassis from scratch, nor with the level of such a task, but I do have an issue with the cost of buying the materials over here on the island, and then the added cost of having to ship it off island to get galvanised and then shipping back again, I doubt I...

    Marshland or Richards Chassis?

    Thanks Guys. From the look of it the Richards one wins on thicker metal, the only problem is that if they mess up the mounts they will have to collect and deliver the replacement to the Isle of Man, so hopefully there are no surprises there, just got to try and locate a bulkhead now!

    Marshland or Richards Chassis?

    Hi guys, After some advice. Can anyone tell me the differences between Richards Chassis and Marsland Chassis Defender 110 1991 Chassis? There is the obvious price difference, but what other differences are there. I need to order one soon, but not sure which is best?
