So why did you buy this truck?

For the cruise, there is a button on the dash that looks like a skateboard, it is actually a roadway with a bridge over it, thats the international symbol for a motorway.
Then on the steering wheel is "set" and "cancel" (also is the resume)

Look for the RAVE manual, it is a free download and it has the owners manual in it too.

When you say the doors wont open are they locked? Have you tried pushing the central locking button on the dash?
Will they open from the outside?
Have you pulled up on the door locks?

The truck is super clean compared with all the other beat up LR Discos. I didnt try the doors because they were detailing the vehicle when I looked it over and never bothered to close the door and reopen them. I mena who would think to do that.

Yes I tried the lock button on the dash.... does not work. Rear passanger does not open from the inside or outside and the pin is up. The pin does not pull up in the drivers side rear door but the handle opens the door. The front passenger door opens as it should...

I think Spike has the right idea. Call me cynical, but it's weird to me that the perfect situation for you to not know about the doors occurred when you were looking at the truck. If they would hide the door problem from you, there's no telling what else they might be hiding from you.

In a way it's kinda funny. The doors don't open? Bwahahahaha

erm, sorry.

I had to replace the vacuum hose on my cruise control, it stopped working and you may need this.

Yeah...

Swallow your pride and take it back demanding nothing less than a full refund. If you know a lawyer take one with you. And then call the BBB and the state attorney general and/or whoever else might be in charge of consumer protections. It's no coincidence they were "detailing" it when you were there. Like ALAKDisco said, what other tricks might they have played? (E.g., Does the SEL come on when you turn the key or is it mysteriously absent?)
