What Discovery is it?

My 300Tdi headlight doesn't have posts, it has a position to screw the small white plastic locators in the pic, which then pop onto the posts that are also in the pic, which locate into the holes in the bodywork.

its a 300 tdi but with electric adjustment. the three post locators are on three corners of the headlight & the electric motors locate into them.

Ah right, the corner locators should be the three little white things, they screw on .. Mine has electrical adjustment too .. it didn't when I got it, but I just added it afterwards ..

The white post connectors are available separately for peanuts so I usually have some in stock as they break very easily.

Also I put Vaseline on them so they slip on and off the posts more easily.

Cheers big lad i will try & source some locally, i usually smear a little grease on them but i think with the first frost last night & the age of them i think it was just too much for them this morning.
