Can't open your front power windows on your Discovery Series II?
The moving parts on a window regulator wear out, and if you hit the window switch to open and you hear the window motor running, but the window does not lower, most likely, the links on the regulator have come apart.
Watch Doug, our Land Rover Master Technician, show you how to remove the front door panel--using panel popper W107T , and then access and repair and replace the front left window regulator and window motor.
The repair is the same for the front right side.

Replacing Front Window Regulator & Window Motor On Discovery Series II. Hi I'm Doug, your tech support representative here at Atlantic British. In this video we're going to touch base on a common problem that arises on D2s from 1999 to 2004 which is the front window regulator and the front window motor. Now in many cases, and you can usually tell if you have a regulator that's gone bad - you activate the window, you actually hear the motor run, but the window doesn't move. Or you hear a banging going on from inside. And that's basically because one of the links has come apart and is banging around in there. So what we're going to do is show you how to install one. And we do stick both the front left and front right regulators and the motors. We also stock a tool that will help you in taking the door trim off which is our W107T panel popper, so if you don't have one of these tools, and you want to get into this job you want to make sure you order one of these. So now we're going to show you how to actually install that regulator. Alright, before we get into taking the panel off, just a quick rundown. We did have a panel popper that we're going to use to take the panel off the door. A cordless screw driver. You want a Phillips bit with a long extension because 2 of the screws on the bottom are set deep inside. A then probably a very long small straight blade screw driver and that's going to come in handy with taking the electrical connection off the motor. So what we're going to do essentially is take the Phillips screws out from the 2 on the door handle. There's one behind this handle right here. You can pop the bezel out once you've taken the screw out and then there are 4 Phillips screws along the bottom. We're just going to take all those out. And then we're going to show you how to pop this off without doing any damage.You'll find that these holes sit quite deep, and it's hard to get your finger in there. And you can't spin it. And it's a little hard to balance with a screw driver and set it. So a little trick is you can actually put the screw on the end of the magnet. And if you're lined up, it's not going to screw it all the way in but it's at least going to start it. And you'll know it's been started when you pull the magnet away and the screw is left in the hole. So you know it's grabbed on to the nut. So then from that point you're just going to run it in. So now let's put all the screws back in and we'll be all set. So we have our door panel back on. Every thing is nice and tight and in place. All the screws are back on. Our 2 in the handle. One in the bezel and then 4 on the bottom. Pop the top in. Push that piece of molding back down. Our door lock knob is moving free. And our window goes up and down as she should with no bad noise or movement. So, we are set to go. So you'll notice that really didn't take a lot of time. Really didn't need a lot of tools to do it. Basically a very easy do it yourselfer project. And you don't realize how much you want that window to go up and down when it doesn't work. So when you're ready to fix your non working window on your Discovery 2 call to any of our knowledgeable salesmen at 1-800-533-2210. And thanks for watching.
