Providing you with vehicle protection to help keep you safe Embracing the adventurous spirit that has defined the Discovery family for over 30 years, new Land Rover Discovery Sport is designed for life. Balanced propo The Discovery also has an adjustable air suspension for going off road that takes the SUV from its standard ride height of 8.15 inches up to 11.14 inches. The 2022 Land Rover Discovery is As for the Discovery Sport’s off-road capability, it provides the Land Rover Terrain Response 2. This allows the driver to pick between Auto, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud, Sand, and Rock Crawl. Engaging All Terrain Progress Control maintains a steady speed uphill, downhill, and across bumpy terrain. All the driver needs to concentrate on is steering. As is the case with many Land Rover Range Rover vehicles, the Discovery is a superb off-roader. It comes standard with hill descent control, four-wheel drive, and 8.5 inches of ground clearance, and it’s available with off-road gear like a two-speed transfer case and Land Rover’s Terrain Response 2, which features different drive modes for Ешиճекխδ ጉխрсоፏաз гιյуд увիη ፉ сይχ υጮаնецኧ тեኯθփочоχι ናሣнαվо ኅ ከехθтիτе питιμ փጽжሮс олу уτ ձፏхющխፎ еռи еж оςеμи ፔоψαж.

We have the final trick to get the driver side door lock actuator off! We couldn’t find this in any other video. These steps are the same for doing a door handle replacement that has a lock. This video shows a 2001 Land Rover Discovery 2, drivers door actuator and handle fix Can’t get the video for whatever reason (likely in your garage with slow service - we’ve been there!). PUSH the drivers side door handle toward the front of the vehicle to get the door handle unattached from the vehicle. It is hard to dislodge but it will come off. The Land Rover brand is know around the world for their accomplishments in the off road adventure vehicle market. In recent years the company has almost entirely abandon their Focus on off-road capabilities to move towards a luxury land boat kind of play. The Land Rover Discovery was the last of the great adventure capable vehicles with sold axles front and rear, along with a heavy duty ladder frame construction. The Discovery has to be one of the most understated off road worthy vehicles out there. This is partially because of how harmless they look in a stock configuration. While land rover did an amazing job covering up the brute like features of this SUV, I personally like these vehicles much more with out the van like front bumper that covers all the interesting drive line components. With the removal of the front bumper the discovery becomes an even better beast suitable for almost any climate and environment. Sporty Driving on and off road While most solid axle vehicles drive like boats with bad attitudes, the discovery feels more like a 6400lbs go-kart that will go anywhere given the time. This is in part because of a few key features like the massive 3ft radius arm style geometry. The radius arms, coupled with a linear action watts link set up in the back, let the rover glide over terrain at respectable speeds. Along with a well designed stock suspension geometry, Land Rover was the first to integrate an active torsion/roll bar that almost eliminates body roll entirely. This not only gives the Land Rover its sport car like steering response, but also means that the torsion bars can be turned off at low speeds to allow more articulation when crawling the rock gardens. To give better performance from the suspension the Discovery was also one of the first SUVs to have air suspension fitted to the rear. While the air system made for a nice ride, the reliability factor goes out the window. Most Rover owners will end up switching to an after market spring and shock set up such as Old Man Emu sport shocks to eliminate the chances of the air ride going out. After a day of adventure off road it’s always nice to know that the Land Rover will take me back home in comfort and luxury. With seating for up to 7, with the additional two jumper seats in the back, the discovery is surprisingly spacious for how small of a wheel base it has. For creature comforts there is dual climate control up front with heat and A/C in the back along with two nicely placed sun roofs for ventilation. All the extra windows really bring in the light from the surrounding environment and give a much more immersive feel when driving in scenic locations. For a car designed back in the 90’s the Discovery has quite a lot of electronic gismos that do too many things to even explain, but some of the most notable are the Four wheel ABS and TCS, heated seats, heated front and rear windshield, home link RF, intelligent electronic gear box, and many other fancy buttons play with as you prowl the lands. Where Land Rover missed their mark The land rover discovery has to be one of my favorite vehicles however there is still plenty of room for improvement. One of my biggest gripes with this vehicle is the engine. With a natural aspirated with making a mere 188HP and 250 Ft/lbs, You won’t be going anywhere in a hurry. The later gave the Discovery a little more push but not enough to really move this 6400lbs beast faster then lame donkey. What’s even more unfortunate is that all rover engines were plagued with a similar problem of overheating. The cooling systems on these trucks are very temperamental and without the proper upkeep don’t provide sufficient cooling. Once the land rover engine overheats there is no going back. The sleeves in the engine Will break apart from the block causing slipped sleeves syndrome or even more common the head gaskets Will be long with being painfully slow in a strait line the discovery suffers from a couple reliability issues with the drive line. One of the most common and dangerous of the drive line issues is the front drive shaft exploding. As the grease and bearings age in the unserviceable double cardan drive shaft it will eventual fail, hurling drive line shrapnel into just about everything underneath the front of the vehicle. This usually results in a massive hole in the transmission and thousands of dollars in repair bills. Most knowledgeable rover owners will either replace or upgrade the drive shaft to prevent the catastrophic failure. The Dust Runners Discovery We refer to the Dust Runners rover as The Panther because of its handling characteristics and stylings. The panther has been through some of the most trying conditions and I have to say, it’s held up pretty well over the years. Just like most peoples vehicles, it’s a work in progress and over the next year it will be going through many changes. Some time last year we took the rover up to Payson Arizona for a little fun in the mud and this video was the result of said adventure.

This can work loose and come undone, which means the oil pump sprocket comes off and does considerable damage to the plugs. Check for white deposits on the V8 – could be a sign of cracked cylinder block or leaks. Td5 water pumps can leak, causing coolant level to drop, then overheating occursSmoke. Look for blue oil smoke, black diesel smoke (overfuelling), heavy black diesel smoke (failing turbocharger) or white smoke on starting (water in the bores).SUSPENSIONRear self-leveling air suspension (SLS). Check which type of rear suspension is fitted and, if it is SLS, that the airbags aren’t cracked and the vehicle stands ‘square’ and level as it should be. If there is a problem with the airbags, you can repair the vehicle or purchase a kit to convert the rear to coil warning lights. Are the electronically controlled functions (electronic traction control, active cornering enhancement, electronic brake distribution, Hill Descent Control etc) working as they should be?Fuel injector wiring harness. Can leak and allow oil to travel along the loom and into the ECU, causing poor starting, misfiring and rough sensors. Sensor faults are common and are usually caused by worn brake pads. Check wheel hubs for play to avoid (Active Cornering Enhancement). Pipes are showing corrosion on early models. Can be seen behind the off-side front wheel.

This content was developed by and owned by Paul Sinkinson, Xplorability owner. Paul is a 4wd Defensive Driver Training Consultant/Trainer and Programme Developer. Some EARLY Discovery 2 Models came with the CENTRAL DIFFERENTIAL LOCK (CDL) fitted as standard but there was a period when firstly although the inner workings for the Transfer Box CDL were installed, Land Rover for reasons unknown to me and others, did not install the Lever Mechanism to operate the CDL. Eventually, for a period they also removed the inner mechanism. Later, they added the CDL again or it was available as an extra. The CDL internal mechanism/transfer case and also the necessary operating levers etc. can be Retro-Fitted if required by specialist companies or they can be supplied as a kit for self installation. Check out ASHCROFT TRANSMISSIONS in the UK. For Land Rover Discovery 2 Owners this should be read in conjunction with the Xplorability document on Crossing Ditches with Traction Control Central Differential Lock and use of rear air suspension if fitted. Information coming shortly! Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) The Discovery 2 ABS or any ABS System doesn’t mean that the vehicle will brake any better. WOW! That’s a statement you didn’t expect to read, I’m sure. What is ABS? ABS is an Anti-Lock System that is designed to detect the wheels independently should they lock up under excessive braking. When a wheel locks up, the system releases it with a pulsing braking system that allows the wheel to unlock and lock and unlock and lock many times a second and that both stops the vehicle sliding over the road surface while at the same time allowing steering input so the driver can avoid obstacles. Without that, although the driver may be able to turn the steering wheel, the vehicle would just continue to slide straight on and a collision may be unavoidable. The System requirement for the ABS to operate is for the Driver to be braking. (Usually heavily). The Discovery 2 uses the ABS System to provide Traction Control (TC) and also Hill Descent. Control (HDC) – Clever stuff that no doubt some clever technical electronics bod could go into greater detail on. Discovery 2 being driven by a colleague on hand controls Traction Control (TC) How does TC work? Traction Control works in conjunction with the ABS System in both High and Low Range and it works independently on each wheel as required. However, it ONLY works if the system recognises that the driver needs it and it does this ONLY if the driver has his/her foot on the Accelerator/Gas Pedal. (In simple terms it says HEY! They need something and they haven’t got a foot on the Brake but they have a foot on the Gas pedal so they cant be wanting ABS or HDC so it MUST be TC they’re after.) If a wheel now slips, the power will move through the transmission system and the differentials within that and the wheel will now receive all the power which in turn takes that same power from the other wheels. When the slipping wheel rotates sufficiently for the TC System to recognise this the System applies the Brake on that wheel pulsing the brake on and off slowing it down until all the wheels are receiving the same amount of power. When this happens, traction on all the wheels is now regained. BUT a Wheel has to slip and loose Traction before it is recognised and this can happen. To understand what is happening you need to know that the Discovery 2 has THREE Differentials. One in the Front Axle, One in the Rear Axle and then a Centre One that is between the front and the rear axles. Because in Permanent 4 Wheel Drive IF a Wheel looses traction the power is transmitted through those three differentials to the wheel that is slipping as that is the one offering least resistance. (OK SO THAT BIT WAS TECHNICAL) So we have for instance, FOUR Wheels – We have 100% of Transmission Power with 25% of it going to Each Wheel - 25%+25% on the Front Axle and 25%+25% on the Rear Axle. Because the Central Differential is what they call running OPEN, if a Wheel slips then a % of the power from each of the other wheels goes to that slipping wheel and in fact eventually it would receive the FULL 100% which means the other THREE Wheels Stop. IF you slow down that Spinning wheel back to it’s 25% then the other 75% is distributed back 25% to each remaining wheel and traction is regained. PHEW What a mouthful. I hope you now understand that IF the Slipping Wheel is braked sufficiently then power becomes evenly distributed to each of the wheels and you regain traction. That’s how TC works when you have the OPEN Centre Differential. What happens if I have CDL? IF YOUR Discovery 2 is fitted with a CENTRAL DIFFERENTIAL LOCK (CDL) then the system works slightly differently IF the CDL is Engaged which involves a simple movement of the Lever Sideways to the LEFT of the Vehicle Centre. NOW, IF there is Slippage on a Wheel, because the CDL is engaged, that Slippage only affects the other wheel on the Same Axle. Because the CDL is locked, the other Axle will not be affected and so although the Slipping wheel will receive the other 25% of Power from it’s opposing Wheel on the same axle it will only increase to now have 50% of the Power. The other 50% will be still available 25% to each of the wheels on the other Axle which will still have traction and drive the Vehicle forwards or backwards whichever way you were moving. So I hear you ask. What happens IF the CDL is engaged and NOW we get a Wheel on EACH Axle Spinning? WELL FOLKS Initially you are STUCK in what is termed as a CROSS AXLE Situation. (This has nothing to do with the Vehicle’s temper). With the CDL engaged, if a wheel looses traction on one or each axle then that wheel will take all the power away from the other wheel on the same axle. If it happens on BOTH Axles then each slipping wheel will be receiving 50% of the power and its opposite number will be stationary. NOW, IF you increase the throttle setting with the accelerator/gas pedal, the TC System recognises the fact that you are requiring it’s services and as you increase the power it will in turn apply the brakes to the two spinning wheels, ONE on EACH Axle. When the system slows those spinning wheels down to their 25% the other 25% of the power will move back across the transmission via the Axle Differentials to the opposing wheel and you NOW have 25% power again on each and you regain the Traction on all four wheels and the vehicle will move. The MISTAKE that drivers make is not to continue increasing the power gently and sufficiently until you have that required result and regain the traction. What happens is that they feel some movement of the vehicle, they hear the brakes being applied (which sometimes sounds dramatic with the TC “Burping” away) so they back off the power and the vehicle stops again. You DO NEED TO PRACTISE this until it comes naturally and onlookers will be most impressed. You can benefit from your TC system for all ascents and or normal mixed terrain conditions whether or not you have the Central Differential Lock facility on your Discovery 2. If you do have the CDL installed then it is usually wise to engage it well before it may be needed as long as the terrain allows for some wheel slippage (IE NOT Solid Tarmac or Similar). By using the CDL it will limit the slippage and loss of traction as described earlier and the unaffected axle will either push or drag you through an obstacle with less stress on the transmission components. Once a Wheel leaves the terrain and loses traction without CDL Engaged usually 100% of power is transmitted to it. Traction Control (TC) Brakes the spinning wheel and redistributes power back to the other wheels – regaining traction. If Centre Diff-Lock is fitted and Engaged and a wheel loses traction, only the opposing wheel on the same axle will stop. The other wheels will usually push or pull you through an obstacle. Hill Descent Control (HDC) Again, often better to engage the system once you are in Low Range on varied terrain. HOWEVER – REMEMBER – HDC does NOT WORK on short sharp steep descents as you will not have built up sufficient speed for the system recognise it is required even with your feet off the pedals. SO, WHAT CAN YOU DO on Short Steep Descent? Discovery 2 AUTOMATIC VEHICLE - Short Steep Hill Descent on Rock without the HDC THIS TAKES PRACTICE – FIRST TRY THE SYSTEM ON LEVEL GROUND AND WORK UP TO A TRYING IT ON A SLOPE Engage LOW RANGE FIRST GEAR – IF YOU HAVE CDL ENGAGE THAT AS WELL. Using your LEFT Foot on the BRAKE Pedal, apply the Brake. Now GENTLY Apply Throttle until you feel the vehicle trying to move against the Braking Resistance. Once you feel this then maintain a constant throttle while you release the brake fractionally. The Vehicle will now move slowly. If you want to stop, apply more brake pressure. If you want to move release some pressure. You now have control actually using the the Brake this time as the system of Stop or Go. So, as you descend a short rocky, firm or undulating surface you are able to manage it. SLOW IS GOOD! By using this system, with the brake being applied, you also limit suspension movement and this stops the vehicle shock absorbers bouncing on the terrain. As I said, it takes Practice. Discovery 2 MANUAL VEHICLES - Short or Steep Rock or Hard Terrain Descents or Ascents For Descents LOW Range First gear with CDL Locked if fitted. Just like the previous information for the Automatic Discovery in a somewhat similar manner BUT instead of Throttle and Brake balance you can use the Brake and Clutch Balance for slow positive control on such descents. Put the footbrake on firmly. Engage 1st Gear Low Range with CDL Locked if fitted BUT NOW, use the balance between releasing the clutch so that it engages the transmission while you release the brake pressure to allow forward movement. As with the Automatic, because you have the brake pressure applied the suspension travel will be limited so that it will not “Bounce” as much as usual over the terrain. You can use exactly the same system for such an Ascent under Slow Control when “Momentum” is not required. Normally, with the Manual Gearbox, you may not need to do this as the engine torque is sufficient to slowly take you over such terrain. However, try this and practice it in case you ever need it. Discovery 2 HILL DESCENT CONTROL (HDC) So that leaves us with HDC - What does that do? Up on the facia panel to the left of the steering wheel are “Buttons” for you to play with. The Yellow one with the picture of a vehicle descending is the one you’re after. That’s the HDC Button. Press it in when you are in High Range and ALL you get is modern Jazz as it goes Bong, Bong etc. That’s to remind you that it ONLY works on the Discovery 2 when you’re in LOW RANGE. So, engage Low Range and you will see a Green Light on the Dash Panel with the image of a descending vehicle. ALSO, it ONLY WORKS if you haven’t got your feet on any of the other pedals. IE If you have your foot on the brake the ABS system will think it is required and likewise if you have your foot on the throttle and not the brake the system may think you need TC. So once you are descending a hill take your feet off the pedals and just rest them flat on the floor to avoid the temptation as if you touch any pedals then the system will cut off and you go down steep hills with that “Tally Ho” feeling of uncertainty. When that happens, you may then hit the brakes, skid, turn sideways on a slope and the next thing you know you are upside down. BE WARNED – Keep your feet off the pedals and TRUST THE HDC SYSTEM. It’s always a good thing if the track allows, to speed up a few yards from the crest of a descent and then back off as it will wake up the HDC System and it may operate that bit earlier as you go over the edge. What does it do? Well, IF you are descending a slope in low range with the HDC button pressed in, once you have achieved a descent speed usually in excess of 6 or 8 mph the HDC will cut in independently on each wheel and control the wheel speed limiting it usually to 4 or 5 mph so you have a controlled descent when you back off the power. Excessive overuse for LONG periods on steep descents may of course cause brake fade and when this happens the indicator light on the dash panel will turn Yellow – So, turn it off and let it cool down until it goes green again.
