Hi...

I have bought a used '01 Discovery Td5 and I have found a (the first?) small problem.

The car is equipped with front-window-heating and the usual rear-window-heating, there
are two button on the dashboard. According to the user-manual it should be possible to
use one for front, one for rear... So far, easy, but...

No matter which button I use, both control-lights light and (so I guess) both windows
will be heated. Switching off manually, same effect, one button (no matter which), both
lights are off. Automatic (time-controlled according to manual) everything seems fine, front
stops first, rear later.

What's wrong?

Thanks,

Chris

Boy that's a good one. I would bring it to a dealer to check out. Sounds like a wire is crossed somewhere.

Chris, Whatever the issue is, it is a warranty issue. LRNA picks up the bill! Good luck...Dave

Dave, I don't think LRNA will be picking up the bill on a Td5. Or is there something I didn't know about LRNA importing Diesels to North America?

Hi...

Guess so too, the car is out of Berlin, Germany...

Would be hard to carry to a LRNA-dealer! ;-)


But they should import the Td5, great mileage compared to the V8, or as a german dealer said: It's impossible to sell the V8 here, haven't had one for years.

Chris,

Sometimes both will light up depending on what setting you have the cabin system on. I've noticed that no matter what, whenever I hit the defrost button, both the front and rear windscreen buttons light up. IS this similar to you problem?

Hi Dave,

that's the same at mine. But...

If I simply press the front or rear-button alone (w/o defrost), well, same thing. One button in, both on. :-(

Chris
