And given JLR dont make the phase 2 lights anymore they are hard to find.
I need to remove the phase 2 headlamp unit and replace them with a more readily availible model and that is cheaper.
Any ideas !?

Have you heard back from Rob?
I don't know if phase 1 ones will fit, you'll have to ask, but I do know that others have done the opposite, i.e changed phase 1s for phase 2s and they had to cut stuff about, so fitting phase 1s might be easier. You might need to get them off Rob and a few other bits so that they fit properly. (Talking front body panels here.)
Round here there are a heck of a lot more Disco 1s around, and the headlight off them is the same as the early Disco 2s as I had to pinch one off one of my Disco1s to get it through the MOT. (I may have saaid this before.)
I did this and had a bit of a look.
There is one Disco 1 being broken and links to other secondhand parts dealers.
Best of luck.

So rocking-horse poop DOES exist!
You must be happy as Larry!
Hope they arrive intact, if you haven't got them yet!!

it does ! Im going to pick them up tomorrow. Not too far from me and they potentially have a few other bits I need.
Great!! Really happy for you!
I know how hard it can be having had a seemingly insoluble problem with the wife's Pluriel's dipping headlight, this has now been followed by someone having nicked her left side rear reflector.
I even went to a Citroen garage to ask if they sold bits for cars. The wimmins asked me how old the car was, before I could tell her she said "If it is over 10 years old we won't have them." So I asked if that meant that all Citroens died at 10 years of age. She sympathised and tried to be helpful, she sent me to Aldi!!
WTF?
And Leclerc Auto had all sorts of reflectors but none even approaching them. They (or copies) are made in China but you cannot buy them from France.
If I can find ont internet ones that are remotely the right size and shape I'll get one and, using bits of wood, stick it in place. It is recessed of course.
How did you manage to find them if you don't mind telling us?

I spent over 20 hours I reckon to find those lights. In the end I found a land rover breaker/ parts company JP land. I emailed them they replied immediately confirming they have the stock at a resonable price (compared to what I have seen anyway)

It was unfortunate Rob didnt have the parts I need. He seems like a good guy and I will definately keep him in mind for future parts 100%.
