[Ignition problem]

Hello everyone,

Can anybody help me with this one - am I doing something really silly ?

I have just got into my S2 Td5 03 Discovery and the key will not turn. Not had a problem with this before, but the key won't budge and the steering lock will, obviously not release.

Searching the site, I see a few of you have replaced ignition barrels - is this the remedy - or am I doing / not doing something really daft!

The keys are ok - not bent or anything like that and the central locking is functioning correctly.

Help !

Turns out I was completely wrong !

It was fuel. A fuel line had split. This was originally a recall issue and my fuel line was replaced on the recall by Barretts in Canterbury. The replacement has now split, but it gets worse. The fuel pump was working overtime spraying diesel all over my driveway to such an extent that it burnt out.

The upshot is this, 1. Fuel lines £61.00 2. Pump £200 3. Rear windscreen wiper £6 4. Labour £135

Of course Barretts say its a Land Rover problem, not theirs, we shall see..

Thank you - from what you have shown me, I think it is highly likely to be an ACE coupling gone awry ! I will check it out and let you know. Thanks again

Hi there !

I have a 2003 TD5 Auto. Owned it for a month and Im a suprised at how much I am spending on it !

At present I have a problems with :-

1. Drivers' seat doesn't heat

2. Drivers' mirror doesn't automatically adjust

3. Passenger door won't open with the fob. It will lock.

4. However, what's causing me most concern at the minute is a leak, quite substantial, has started today at the rear. It is comming from above the fuel tank on the nearside. When I turn the engine on, it floods out and slows to a drip when the engine is off. It's not fuel. It's not brake fluid. I am thinking it may be suspension hydraulics I am sure I have isolated the leak to the point above the tank. Surely there would not be a joint there ? Has anybody experienced similar problems ?

That said, can somebody tell me where the suspension, hydraulic fluid reservoir is ? It may give a clue (by the lack of fluid) - I am seriously starting to wonder about Discovery ownership !

Thak you, in advance for any assistance you can give.
