Land Rover Repair: Drive Side door latch/lock not popping up, door latch, land rover dealership
QuestionI have a Disco 2 1999. Its been a great vechile but currently I'm unable to get into the driver side door because my lock/latch isn't popping up. All the other locks pop up when I use keyless entry besides the driver side door. The Land Rover dealership took a look at my vechile and they want some major cash to replace the lock. To me it doesn't look that hard to complete the task. I have never changed the lock/latch assy though. The part number I think I need is FQJ102910. Has anybody ever changed the lock assy on there Disco2 or are there any pointers I may need to know before I dive into the project. Thanks for the help and keep up the hard work.
AnswerIf you are handy you can change the driver door latch at home. It's a 2-3 hour job, so be prepared. If you don't have a manual I suggest you buy a day's access to Land Rovers site for $20 - www.landrovertechinfo.com - and download the manual with photos etc.
