The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

This factory service and repair manual for the 1996 Land Rover Discovery covers the vehicle exactly as built for that year, powered by the 4.0L V8 (VIN 2) engine, so the torque values, wiring routes and diagnostic steps inside track what Land Rover actually specified rather than a generic Discovery-era approximation.

Engines

  • 4.0L V8 (VIN 2) Gas

Trims

  • SE Sport Utility 4-Door
  • SE7 Sport Utility 4-Door
  • SD Sport Utility 4-Door

Known issues on the 1996 Discovery. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the rear driveshaft coupling, where a joint that was not manufactured to the required engineering design specification can exhibit the onset of joint separation under drive-line vibration, and if ignored, catastrophic failure of the coupling can let the driveshaft detach from the vehicle while in motion, causing loss of drive and loss of transmission park functionality and increasing the risk of a crash. The second covers the right front door hinge and attachments: the right front door can fail to latch fully when closing and bounce back off the door seals, increasing the risk of a vehicle accident or personal injury. The third covers the frontal air bag system, where chafing of a cruise control wire can cause the steering wheel rotary coupler to overheat and inadvertently deploy the driver's air bag, which can cause a driver to lose vehicle control. Owners have filed 0 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are on record. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're inspecting the rear driveshaft coupling, chasing a front door latch that won't hold, or tracing cruise control wiring near the steering column, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1996 Discovery.
