Hi I have a 96 Discovery and over the last year or so a couple of the door locks do not fully open. IE the lever that shoots up out the top of the door cards is lower than it should be by about 5 to 10 mm. As such you have to pull the leaver up fully from within the car to open the door/s, however when you shut the door it drops back down again. I have put this down to a worn component however is it something simple to adjust after removing the door cards for access? Or do I need to buy new parts?

Thanks

yes, you do. you need replace the door latch, the spring inside is weaker, can not hold the lever up.

 

Do you know if you can just replace the spring, as unless I use a new latch then I could end up doing the job twice.

Thanks

Not sure, if you can't, go to Roverlandparts.com and buy a good guaranteed used one.

 

Replacement springs for D1 door locks are available on ebay - it's a common fault.
