What doesn't work on your Discovery?
Common issues it seems for me, ABS not working, rear wiper arm flew off on the highway, cruise control inop, and a strange leak down the front windshield on rainy days, after the window has been resealed 3 times.(maybe its not the window seal?) hopefully no one starts a thread on "what have you fixed on your disco" don't think there is enough time in the day to fill in that box.
no cruise control, rear wiper fell off, rear windows dont work, window lock button dosent work, leaky power steering gear, leaky brake fluid resivor the list could go on and on
BUT I LOVE MY ROVER

Already is one... Rear windows, not had time to solder ecu, both sunroofs inop plus rear leaking, cruise control and its not the vac lines and won't shift into diff lock.
Hmmm, okay, this is my first forum post here, so here goes!
Currently broken/dodgy:
ABS/TC/HDC fault
Front Passenger Door lock Actuator (only locks)
Heater control panel button lights
Clock display and backlight
Horn buttons (one missing, the other loose and falls out all the time)
Coolant Expansion tank cracked and leaking a little
Top hose T-Piece (Plastic!) cracked/leaking
Rear right side window "seal" lets water in at the top
Removed front fog lights as one was missing bulb clip and full of green algae
Serpentine Belt tweets (throw over some talcum powder every 2 weeks)
Drivers seat slightly loose
Power Steering/ACE system constantly groaning (not sure which)
Suspension clonk when weight shifting left to right to left again (e.g. roundabout)
Shocks are shocking :-)
What I've fixed:
Crank Sensor - common on the V8
Exhaust leak at headers
Replaced brakes all round
Oil & Filter change
Replaced crappy head unit with Pioneer
Got a feeling I'm going to need to spend some serious money fixing all these up - perhaps when the car loan finishes I can start... :-)
Don't need to worry about leaky sunroof as mine does not have any!
Still wouldn't give it up for anything (apart from maybe a Disco 3)

Cruise Control, rear window washer, cracks in window seals, pretty good shape I guess but needs new tires, will find out when it starts snowing, oh forgot rear door lock is hanging and have to pull it up manually
fixed: New pads (one rear was broken and caliper bleeds replaced were rusted), flush brake fluid, gas filter, oil change (this weekend)
