Land Rover Repair: 1998 Land Rover Discovery I, land rover discovery, door latch


Question
I can't get the drivers side door panel off of my Land Rover to check the window motor, the window won't close and the door won't close the latch or something is stuck..any suggestions?? Thank you :)

Answer
With all those problems you really need a workshop manual.  You can buy printed manuals from either Atlantic British or Rovers North online.  They can also help you with parts.  However, I would caution you that replacing a door latch is a 2-3 hour job for a skilled technician, so I'd advise you to read the procedure and make sure you think you can handle it before you begin.

The door panel is held on with a combination of pop-off clips and screws behind the arm rest and handles, like most European cars.
