My 2017's driver door window regulator is sounding pretty crunchy when going up and down. I'm going to order a new one. Anyone have one fail yet? I'm at 78000 miles now.

 

Yes, seems to be a common issue. Had mine replaced on my 2018 at around 50K miles, under CPO warranty.

 

Thank you. That's a little disappointing to hear. My 35 year old 3 series has 400k miles on the original driver regulator. 78k and this Discovery has consumed 2 door latches and 1 window regulator lol. Well in the last 25k I've owned it. I should entertain not using my doors and windows as much. Maybe ingress and egress Duke Boys style.

 

My left front regulator has just started the crunchies recently... I am still under warranty. Hoping they have the parts! Only 22,000 miles and garage kept about 90% of the time.

 

My 68 plate model has now had 3 failed wildows - Driver's front cable snapped when window was down at 3.5 yrs. Rear passesnger cable corroded and partially split - jamming it (4yr point). Passenger front was crunchy and slow and I had to maunally pull it up as the safety cutoff kept coming on (4.3yrs) Car has only done 65K miles. It has taken 5 months to get the rear actuator, god knows how long for the front one. I would get it replaced asap and disconnect the front left switch so you are not left in the lurch.

 

Both mine front ones have failed at 3 yrs old..both had rusty snapped cables. There’s cars in scrapyards 30 yrs old with still operational electric windows so god knows how Landrover can’t engineer a decent part. Apparently genuine items are on back order so I purchased a pattern part last time as I figured the genuine ones are ****e anyway.. I won’t be buying another Landrover vehicle again. On another note my 2013 transit van has been fantastic and drives better than the Discovery.

I have had to replace all four! All under warranty.
