Hi y'all
My partner bought an above disco 2 years ago and now we need a replacement front bumper.
Anyone out there in Dorset got one? We need a replacement because the landrover failed its MOT because of this.
Do hope someone cane help us

Try looking on eBay, gumtree, rimmerbros if you are nuts.
You could ask here -
https://www.landyzone.co.uk/forum/land-rover-discovery.8/
They know D1’s & D2’s & the other one.

There’s a for sale section too but each section has its own rules so be erm... courteous? ....
considerate - that’s the one

Welcome. We’re loads on eBay when I last got one to cut up, paid about £60 from memory.

I'd love to know how it failed an MOT on this, was there a sharp edge on it somewhere?

I didn't think bumpers were an mot thing? I guess if it has sharp edges though...

I have a disco winch bumper out the back that I've been meaning to flog, but I'll be further than will be worth you travelling. (J27/M5)


Edit -

Pretty sure this is the one I have but I don't remember it having the two circles in the front -

Holy thread resurrection Batman!!
but for what it is worth:

6.1.4. Bumpers​

Defect	Category
(a) Bumper: (i) insecure or with damage likely to cause injury when grazed or contacted (ii) likely to become detached	Major Dangerous

So I guess it has to a) be there
b) be properly attached
and c) not have any jagged edges etc.

Bumpers themselves aren't usually an MOT concern, but sharp edges could be an issue. If your Disco winch bumper has no sharp edges, it's likely fine. If you're selling, check local listings for a reasonable used price; that Rimmer Bros tag seems crazy. Traveling far might not be worth it, but someone closer might snatch it up.
