Yep bumpstop..

Being a D2 i'm sure there is a massive hole where that was attached. ;)
 
Logically, it can also happen to the genuine part fitted in the factory, if it didn’t then a replacement part wouldn’t be required.
Hate to say this, but it is obvious that you are right as if the factory part lasted the life of the vehicle there'd never be the need to replace anything!!!!!!

Not necessarily... i replaced my originals with new aftermarket when they were 12 years old still in situ just that the rubber was worn out, lost it's flexibility and full of small cracks so i didnt like them, fitted cheap ones which dissapeared in less than a year then i fitted extended polyuretanes which are still good

My D1s bump stops are still original after 26 years, but still low mileage so doesn’t really count.

And with the 10 years with a RR which had 110k miles on the clock when l sold it, it never had an issue with bump stops.
At the time in the LR magazines bump stops were mentioned many times in that they go missing, so finding the one thats just falling off is lucky as we now have Super glue to do a repair thats better than the original stuff that was used then, and still now it appears 😀

But with the disco steering ball joints replaced at 30,000 miles and a water pump plus the viscous coupling replace at only 40,000 miles… luck of the draw I suppose ☹️

I expect that using the full axel articulation has some thing to do with the loss of bump stops.

My D2 was never strained much but a bump stop still fell off.

Just luck of the draw again, but I can’t say have seen bump stops for D1 or 2 mentioned in a post before in Landyzone but there’s not much to say … just they fall off. 😢
Maybe a record on the subject coming up with 18 posts so far. 😊
