How to remove and fit discovery3 side vent - 2003 Land Rover Discovery

mostly you do as the vents are fitted from the underneath

Don't think so. Buy new part and latch mechanism should be apparent. I think they just "pop" into place.

they are billet vents

Hummer H2 Chrome Billet Side Vents With Antenna Mount Fits the 2004...

replace rubber seal...

most dash vents are fitted from behind the dash so you may have to remove the dash to get to them . If there are screw holes in the new one for fitting screws that will be how it is done.

have the same thing with a rrs tdv6 2006 looks to me like the wiring is fauly as the switch is showing error all the time. i have also swaped over another switch from a known good vehicle. using the data monitor there is no signal when operating the switch but i know it works fine. so im now looking at the loom for any signs...... o happy days

The drivers side bolts can be accessed by pulling out the guage cluster and some of the ductwork. It's a tight fit but can be done. The passenger side on models without the airbag is accessed by going through the glove box. 
You can get to the top of the R Front shock tower bolts (14mm allen x 3) by removing the Airbag and glove box assemblies... there's barely enough room to get to those bolts. the deepest nut is going to be really hard to get out, but prevailed eventually. A time consuming project, but worth while.

As for the break lines: You don't have to take them apart if you try this trick.
First you need to remove the clips that hold the brake lines to the strut supports.

After the clips have been removed there should be enough play in the lines to shift the fittings out of the supports.

I use bolt cutters to make two cuts in the brake line supports about 1/4" apart. Remember to do the same to the new struts.

The brake line should just slide right out. When you put your new struts on the brake lines will slide in the slots you put in.

When you reasseble the brake lines to the supports the clip will hold the fitting tight even with the slot cut into the support.


Good luck and hope this helps.
