| Why did my 05 Atra Van have better spec windows than my HSE |
|
I have just bought an 05 D3 and cant belive that the passenger window doesnt have on touch up and down!
Can it be done easily???
Also how come the lock button doesnt shut the windows if you keep it depressed????
My old Astra had these as standard!
Tell me please, there must be a mod to fix these basic function on most cars of the noughtys.
If is possible to upgrade.....HOW?

I thought all Disco 3 and 4 cars had that ! Perhaps they have been 'switched off'. LR Discovery 4 XS pulling an Airstream 532 Caravan also own (since new) a 1996 MGF

Afraid this was not standard until the 2008 model (I believe) of the D3 and I'm afraid that it cannot be switched on.

I dont care about the passengers...I just like to feel the wind in my hair, so want to open the windows at the touch of a button.
PS the Van also comes with roof rails as standard.....lol

my Skoda have them all (electric windows, roof bars, electric-leather seats) and it's 4x4  ; but somehow I dont think they really compare on capabilities 
Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!

It doesn't work when I use the key to lock it...I keep it pressed and the windows just will not go up!

Looks like you bought the wrong highly capable, spacious, comfortable go-anywhere vehicle.
Hopefully the dealer still has your van and you can trade back?

Just out of interest, if it became available in 2008 (and I'm assuming we're talking about one-touch passenger windows here, not the close-all-windows when locking business), what exactly changed to accommodate this? Is it a new physical switch module in the driver's door, a reprogramming of some ECU somewhere, or both? And what is it therefore that means it can't be retro-fitted to a pre-2008 model? 2001 D2 GS (I must be mad!)
2005 D3 S 10-12 (gone and missed)
