Discovery door locks

[Bigwood]

The drivers door lock has done the usual trick, unlock door but cant get in without lifting the button whilst pulling door handle. I have an idea it is that little spring within the lock mechanism. I have springs in stock.Replacing this must have been discused before but I cant find the artical in the forums. This may be down to me having a not good day so far Maybe a little Landy tinkering will act as good therapy.

I have found some information on removing the lock but the picture of were the spring fits is postage stamp size. No good with my aged eye sight. Help please

Look at the pics by saving them or using the direct links.

Or replace ds011 in the above link with ds001, ds002 etc

Or right click in firefox and select View image

Changing the actual spring is really easy, it's getting the lock mechanism out that is the tricky bit. I may have the instructions that came with the springs when I did mine kicking around somewhere. If you pm me your email address, I'll send you.

Thanks everybody, spring thing done. I think the problem with the picys I found was my end. With a bit of susing and bogling I made the pictures bigger and all became clearer. Getting the lock out was a right pain as sugested, getting the galons of waxoil off my now bald arms was even more painfull. After working on Series 2/2A/3 and my 90 the Disco has a few hiden little horors to catch the unaware but I still think it is mostly DIY repairable.As exspected it is nearly MOT time so you should expect trouble.

How was the therapy then?

I find when the arms are bald, the wrists slightly shredded, a couple of hours will turn that into a mild sense of satisfaction and a reminder that LR Dealer workshop labour charges are £75 and upwards.....................

I have just had a long weekend away in Scotland, no Landy no driving. I thought it would make a change but I kept thinking of the the things I need to do when I get back. Its test time next Monday I am an ex MOT tester so I cant help but think of what they will look for. I have had time off my Landy before but still came back for more. The dealers can have the SAAB to fix but I aint letting them near the Landy if only to stop them charging those prices. It may be old and a bit tired but it always surprises me how little time or money it has cost me these last two years.
