have you checked the oil level?  When is the last time you changed the oil? 

This can be due to the possible reasons as follows:
1. Fault in the door switch , rocker switch contact being faulty.
2.Fault in the wiring harness that has snapped at the door hinges section.
3. Fault in the winding motor., remove and check for forward backward movement.
4. Mechanical jamming of the winder, remove and reset if there is tightness in the glass channel.
5.Fault in the electronic circuit/ load trip off circuit.

the fuel pump fuse is in the engine compartment fusebox. if you are looking from the front of the car into the engine compartment you will see a little black rectangular box on the left side towards the front of the engine. gl

First off, you never have to set foot in a
dealership in your entire lifetime

The O2 Sensor, I hope you changed
yourself. That was a 10 min job

Disconnect the battery and see if the code clears

Some O2 codes clear when the new sensor is installed

inlet air temp sensor volts too high

most likelt the idle air temperature sensor is bad or has a problem in the circuit it self

So if you were to pay a dealer for their time & have it
taken into the service bay, not a single tech could put
in a radio code
That is pure non sense

Sorry, I had to say something & I don't have your owners
manual or any other material to help you

Try asking another dealer, or see if you can have it
done with a scan tool at a local repair shop

Disconnect negative battery terminal. From underneath the vehicle, remove the skid plate & heat shield, if you have one. Disconnect the wires from the starter solenoid, pay attention to placement, they will need to be reinstalled the same way. Loosen the bottom starter mount bolt 3-4 turns & remove the top one. Holding starter in one hand, remove the bottom bolt and pull starter straight out from flywheel. Hope this helps.

When was the last time that you change the engine oil? Sometimes it does that whe you have an excess of oil, check the level. But definitve white smoke means oil being burnt in the engine, you only see it in park because the smoke doesn't disperse like in motion.

Yes it should be in High, unfortunatly the Land Rover discovery does not have 2 wheel drive capability. Unless one of the shift modulators is stuck then what your seeing is normal. There are kits available to change the gear ratio on the transfer case to get lower revs. I belive they are called a Disco box. This will decrease the torque and increase the power needed for take offs but will reduce the engine revs

looking from front of disco

any plugs loose?

big job but doable.
welding in new 50x100 3mm box section instead of soft sills as this wont rot out and you get funky rock sliders built in!
bit of fabricating of body to chassis mounts but no harder than welding in after market panels. good pics on lr4x4 forum.

You need to introduce in it the security code - it's a 4 digit number that is specific to that radio. The number can be found in the purchase papers and the user manual of the car, along with the instructions on how to input it.

It sounds like the feul pump is going out, because its not getting enough gas.

It is a chain.

You might want to check wires (backside of switch(s)) to see if any have crossed or try disconnecting each switch, one at a time - possible internal short. If all else fails download this: Rave man. It has wiring schematics - http://www.landroverresource.com/
