Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented lock is dedicated to the rear right side of the Land Rover Discovery 3 L319 generation body. Its task is to mechanically and electrically lock the door, interact with the internal and external handle rods, and integrate with the central locking system and vehicle security features.

Its placement in the rear right zone allows for consistent operation of all locks in the car, which is essential for the proper functioning of the locking feature, open door signaling, and passenger safety systems.

Construction and technical compatibility

The rear door lock has been designed as a component structurally compatible with Land Rover's factory solutions, ensuring it maintains the correct mounting points, geometry for fitting with the door panel, and compatibility with original rods and the wiring harness. This design facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional modifications.

The presence of dedicated part numbers and interchangeable numbers (visible in the technical specification) allows for precise verification of compatibility with a specific Discovery 3 L319 configuration, which is particularly important when selecting components from the Locks and Latches group.

Condition of the component and benefits of use

The offered lock is a used component, which in practice means the possibility of an economical repair of the locking system while maintaining the manufacturer's original design. In many cases, using such a component allows for restoring proper door closing, eliminating problems with locking or unlocking, and improving interaction with the central locking system.

The main advantages of using this lock in a Land Rover Discovery 3 L319 include:

• maintaining factory geometry and fitment for the rear right door,
• consistent operation with other locks in the vehicle,
• the ability to restore the proper operation of the opening and locking mechanism,
• a solution to problems with door latching, lack of response to the central locking system, or unstable handle operation.

Installation and maintenance tips

When replacing the rear right door lock, it is recommended to thoroughly check the condition of the wiring harness, rods, and guides in the door to avoid the need for re-disassembly in the near future. Proper adjustment of the mechanism relative to the door panel and the pillar striker is crucial for smooth closing and avoiding excessive stress on the structure.

Selecting parts according to the OEM number and reference numbers, visible in the specification section, minimizes the risk of purchasing an incorrect lock and ensures compatibility with the specific vehicle equipment version.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the door locking zone in your Land Rover and need other components from the same group, such as locking mechanisms, cylinders, or actuators, check the available parts in the Land Rover Locks and Latches category.

Ecological aspect of choosing a used part

Choosing a used door lock is not only a cost-saving measure but also a real reduction in waste and raw material consumption. Reusing functional components is part of a modern approach to vehicle maintenance, combining budget-consciousness with environmental care.
