Hi all,

Went to change my battery and the screw on for the negative connect that hold it onto the battery got lost down my car.

Looks like this http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic85417.html

But for a td5.

Tried to take the headlight off and the head snapped off the bolt. Does anyone know where I can buy one as I need it by Friday as I'm driving some mates to France to work at a refugee charity so they are relying on me. Need next day delivery!!!

As the guy says in the article, use a M6 bolt and some washers. Failing that get it from Paddocks. They got me a PAS pump on pre 12pm delivery next day and I was also going to Europe that afternoon. Touch and go but we got there.

If in doubt, or trouble, bodge it with Duct tape and/or cable ties and fix it properly when you return. This is a serious reply not a **** take. My disco 300tdi headlamp was held in place with Duct Tape for several months before I got round to fixing it properly!

EDIT Oops, just looked at the link you have posted. Thought you were struggling with the headlamp not the battery. Got to be a bolt and washers for that.

Also sadly my headlight is held on with cable ties as we speak

You can improvise with a bolt and washers or go for that one(link only for part number) http://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/95231/2498/negative_earth_battery_cable_td5_discovery_2 , you can't find only the original bolt as spare

Thanks Sierrafery, however my garage has given me one for free

(I have spent 4K with them over the past 6 months)
