Land Rover Discovery Common Problems and Solutions
Active cornering system problems
Problem:
The pipes in the active cornering system are prone to breaking. If these pipes are not replaced promptly, it can damage the entire active cornering system. A good way to check for leaks is to inspect the pipes near the wheels and suspension components; if there is red fluid clinging to them, they will need to be replaced.
Solution:
Replacing the pipes will fix the problem. We can assist you in finding replacement pipes at a very affordable price. Search for your Land Rover Discovery replacement active cornering system pipes through Breakeryard.com.

Rear seat strap failure
Problem:
In vehicles with an interior configuration that includes a third row of seats, the straps used to fold the seats are known to come off. When they do, it becomes extremely difficult to fold the seats up or down, causing significant inconvenience for car owners.
Solution:
You will need to readjust the straps to fix the problem.
Difficulty level
Electric handbrake failure
Problem:
The electric handbrake on the Discovery is susceptible to failure. If you notice that the handbrake cannot hold the vehicle's weight on a slope and/or the fault light flashes on the dashboard, then the handbrake requires adjustment.
Solution:
Land Rover has issued an update to their service campaign aimed at improving the reliability of the electric handbrake. They will carry out the necessary modifications to resolve the issue; otherwise, you will be responsible for making the alterations yourself.
