Hi! About to join the club and had a 2017 Td6 inspected and the dash pic is showing an error or two, but I've been unable to decipher what the error is. The inspector supposedly test drove the car and the inspection shows no problems. Anybody know what these mean?

 

I can't see any errors. 7pc fuel level (fill up!). The red down arrow means you are locked in access height. Press the height up button to raise back up. Or it should do it automatically above about 20mph

Ignition is on means just that. Prob drivers door is open with ignition running? The red error triangle is tied to the ignition on warning. Close doors and do up seatbelt and it should go away. Or fully start engine. .

Are there any other errors you can see?

 

Ok, that all makes perfect sense. I just wanted to be sure, that these were in fact not major issues, the red triangle is pretty ominous. Plus the access height lock was also visible in the listing pictures as well, but I couldn't figure out what it was or what to Google. The inspection came back clean and the Disco seems like it has been decently taken care of. I am in the process of purchasing it, and hope to have it in the next couple of weeks. I've been lurking here for weeks and I've literally gone through every page of the Discovery V forum, not every post mind you, but every post that seemed relevant. I've learned a lot and yet I still want a Disco in my garage. Thanks for the quick help!

 

On the inspection did the inspector cycle it through its ride heights?

 

Probably not, these dealer lot inspections are basic at best. I used Carchex since I couldn't find a decent local choice as these are the same inspectors they use for warranty work, but it's more of a visual inspection with test drive and probably as reliable an inspection as my friend Chuck could pull off. The truck still has 14 months and 10k miles left on the warranty, first thing that happens when it arrives is a full workup at the local dealer. I have 2 now with a brand new one coming soon, but I've been extremely happy with the dealer group that service our BMW and Audi, and I'd imagine that the LR dealer will be the same.

 

I hadn't had my coffee and was wondering if it could be locked in access height due to a fault... but there would be other warnings. Sorry. Carry on. We've enjoyed the heck out of our discovery 5.

 

Hahaha, no worries, I've not been able to find a Td6 with rear locker anywhere near me so this deal has to be somewhat faith based. I would assume that during the test drive that it unlocked the access height, but I can't be sure that the inspector actually took it for a drive. Like I said, everything else seems to be above par including the dealership so it's either I wait forever to find a Disco specced like I want or take a chance on a warrantied vehicle.

 

I can sympathize with the difficulty of being able to find the options I wanted on a certified preowned... we gave up... and flying cross country was even something we were willing to.

 

I wanted to pick this one up as hotels and flights are ridiculously cheap, but worried about lockdowns outside of AZ plus since it's only got about 10k miles in warranty left, I figured I'd rather pay for shipping. Can't wait to post up pics. Also love your build, TexasLandmark, looking to do something similar.

 

If they took it out for a test drive it should have cancelled locked access height.



LOCKED ACCESS HEIGHT

Locked access height is useful when maneuvering the vehicle in confined areas, e.g., multi-level parking garage.

Make sure that the suspension height is set at the access height setting or the normal height setting. Make sure that the vehicle is traveling at a speed of less than 22 mph (35 km/h).

Press the down button (2) for longer than 1 second, to lock the vehicle at access height. See ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION CONTROLS.

The locked access height indicator lamp illuminates on the suspension system controls. The instrument panel displays a confirmation message.

To manually cancel locked access height, press the up button (1) for longer than 1 second. Alternatively, increase the vehicle's speed above 25 mph (40 km/h) to automatically cancel locked access height and set the suspension to the normal height setting.
