My recently acquired Disco 2 Td5 has already been as source of joy, and disappointment. After replacing the near side track rod end, the steering is LOADS better - I've never seen one in such a poor state as the one I took off. When I bought it, there were no horn buttons, so I replaced the...

Thanks for checking. On my original wheel they're indeed all missing and tabs broken. On the replacement, they're all intact except one of the springs is missing. I've ordered a couple of springs based on the dimension of my one remaining, which is very similar to yours - so will see what...

When I bought my new pride and joy, one of the little foibles was the horns didn't work for some reason. As the steering wheel was 'past it's best', I decided I'd just bite the bullet and pay Ebay a visit. A few days later, and wallet considerably lighter, I am the proud owner of a steering...

Yes please - PM incoming !

@Beneagles - EeEk has just been in touch, and doesn't have one, so we're OK to move on a bit;) Only problem I see is I can't get hold of the body mounts (Yet). I can probably make some up for the bottom part, but the top ones would be trickier. I'll continue to check, but can you get a price...

That looks absolutely perfect - I just need to confirm if I can get the bits it attaches to:

Thank you. I've sent @EeEk a PM checking if he can assist, or not. If not, I'd definitely be interested to see pictures (Mesh or bars) if/when you take them, and a price. :D

Thanks @sierrafery that saves me ordering the wrong bits. This is a great forum!!

Would it be this one for the switch illumination https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/land-rover-discovery/discovery-2/parts/electrical/lights-lenses-and-bulbs/jwh100070-bulb-heater-control-discovery-2.html

That'll be great. Thanks.

Bit of a long shot, but do you have a dog guard, with fixing brackets.

Arrived today - thank you very much. I will find that appropriate charity shortly, and make a donation as you suggested. :)

Well I'm glad you asked - as I too have an oil leak. Trouble is there's so much oil about, and has been for a long time, I didn't know where to start looking. With the clue that @1988smithy has given you, I have a starting point!

Thanks Big L. That is one lovely looking example. I am more than confident mine will never look that good!

Wow - passenger squab is the same as the drivers - how incredibly obvious is that, yet I hadn't considered it! Thank you!! I also ride a motorcycle, and go walking, so looks like I'll be investing in some Renapur soon. My only trepidation comes with the last part - disconnecting the battery...

Thanks- will do this evening if that’s ok.

Did this go? If not, I'd appreciate it ;)

Lol - yes I'm afraid I really did miss it. I had to check with the seller just to confirm... Don't know if it's an MOT fail or not. I read on here that it isn't, (Pull fuse 7?) but rules change. No - no diagnostics yet. On my list of things to acquire, but I've just booked a nice new...

I know I could try and claim on insurance, but that seems dishonest - I just need to suck it up really. (No point in putting up ALL of our premiums just because I was wearing rose tinted spectacle during my inspection.). Thanks @matt101, I'll give Bristol Bodyglass a call.

Well, it finally happened - I bit the bullet and purchased a TD5 Discovery today. Manual, 2004, in dark blue with (Filthy) cream leather inside. I looked it over, drove it - saw a few little niggles... Short MOT .... Chassis has been welded in the past with a few heavy plates around the rear...
