Please help!
I own a 95 Discovery. It does not like cold weather. That is a problem as I live in NH. I have just rebuilt the starter, have a new battery and have put in a new alternator within last 9 months. Once the temperature goes below 35 or so it will turn over but not "catch". I did some research last year on line and people acted like this was an isolated incidence and I couldn't find any answers. I broke down and brought it to the dealer. They wanted me to buy a "cold weather enhancement kit". I said if there is a kit for this, this must be common. The dealer said it was-this problem is "inherent" in Discoverys between 93-95. The kit consists of a cold weather starter, battery and prom? coil or chip. The dealer said that you couldn't do one thing without the others, and as I just did the starter and battery that I would have to spend $675.00 for parts and labor. Other than that to buy a block heater. I have one other issue-the key will not come out of the ignition. This is a new occurance-dealer wanted to replace the ignition for $650.00. I took it to a locksmith and no luck. Other than these issues I love my truck. Can anyone help? thanks in advance.....Lily
