Your son did well to find a Discovery which is almost identical to his model car. He must have a well paid newspaper round to fund that.

Did the dealer deliver and park it up as well as part of the deal. Whistle

He's nine, so just on the cusp of going from "My dad is fantastic", to "My dad doesn't know anything". Enjoying it whilst it lasts. There are two rules for success,

You are a lucky chap indeed. I'm curious why the sump guard has the towing eye hole blanked off with a plate and some tiny screws. Will these not be absolutely hellish to remove if you are stuck in mud, snow or water no mater how nice the toolkit is? A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

One of the problems I have seen appear on this forum is corrosion around the towing eye due to road salt spray. I decided to make myself an aluminium blanking plate to reduce the amount of spray getting directly into it via the sump guard access hole. At the moment, it's held on with cap-heads, which is all I had lying around at work. I'll reverse the cap heads, and make myself some nice knurled thumb-screws when I have time. There are two rules for success,

The Small plate looks pretty neat on the sump guard, I would be removing the small screws off and putting a bit of copper grease on them and they will be fine,

Happy Birthday nice presents Thumbs Up

Contact Beanie on the forum http://disco3.co.uk/forum/member-beanie.html.
That one is a Narpy style grille. He also does a D4 style.
There are also instructions for modifying your own on the forum if you want to have a go. http://disco3.co.uk/forum/topic106049.html There are two rules for success,
