Had a result on the Disco 3 forum fella!
Supplier can obtain the tool from Germany at a considerable reduction to what I have been quoted!
Thanks for directing me over to the forum fella! I would say after days trying to source the tool, that’s a quick result!

Shame the way people don’t like to help out these days. And it seems too much trouble to just place an order.
Got a friendly pub landlord
Still confused as to why Bosch only sell to VAT reg folks though or is it they will only sell to proper garages?
Anyway well done for taking on the project and hope you can find something.

It’s the VAT thing? Don’t ask me why?
I’ve had a result with obtaining the Tool, you wouldn’t believe the headache this £3 piece of Rubber has caused me!
Almost had the Sport booked in for its MOT and then “Boom” nice bed of oil!
That’s what you get for cutting corners I suppose! Trying to slip by replacing the only one I couldn’t get access to!
Still! I know I have saved a fortune with all the pain staking work I have put in to this.
I never dreamed I would get it going due to the issues I was faced with!
Tool due to be ordered and then on to the next? There’s bound to be? It’s a Range Rover Sport after all!

I have been VAT reg twice and don’t understand the issue your “friends “ have.
Anyway glad to here you sorted. You will enjoy the fruits of your labour
But as you say there will be something on the to do list
A big thumbs up to Gary @gstuart for pointing you towards a result
J
Gary’s a Top Man! Hopefully my issue is being dealt as we speak!
As for ‘Friends’ I will use that term very loosely! I go out of my way to help and some out there take advantage!
I suppose we live and learn!
Thank god for Forums such as these Landrover enthusiasts ones!
It sure beats bashing your head against the wall! Or should I say the Engine bay on the Sport!
U guys , Ur make me blush, snigger
Ps, know what u mean ref friends , I use to be a heating engineer and I always helped many of so called mates , then when I asked for help, amazingly know one would help inc mates that just stab u in the back
Made better friends here than I ever did in the past , inc forum members who have come out personally to help me when I’ve struggled and in the same token help fellow forum members where I’ve been able to
Wonder if something like this would work ??

You live and learn fella! Live and learn!
I left the British Army in 92 and stay in touch with those that I served alongside. As for some who have I have been aquatinted over the years outside the Military?
Not friends but more enemies when the chips are down.
Keep those close who treat you well, the rest? Well need I say?

Fair play to you!
I commend your persistence in assisting the search!
Only wish I had jumped on board here sooner!
No worries buddy , like to try and make myself useful, lol

I honestly appreciate the assistance fella!
Looks like you have had your hands full yourself! Just something about Land Rover! The parts are extortionate and are always failing however...
When all is working as it should, we then embark on a journey to find something else to do!
The crazy world of a Land Rover owner aye?!
It’s great to see those such as you making available valuable contributions to assist those that need it! Top work!
Thanks for the link! I have owned Many Land Rovers over the years but have been out of the Land Rover game for a while.
It’s good to see the enthusiasm for these at times temperamental vehicles still going strong!
