Broke my Disco a bit today ...

Lost a bumper end cap on our Rangie during off roading... There was a company knocking out High lift compatable bumpers which had smart metal end caps which also protect the rear lower 1/4 pannel too.. Maybe they do something similar for the Disco.

Yeah, now we're getting a lot more confident in the Disco's capabilities we're starting to push it a bit .. so we're looking at bits to add, or remove, to make it a little more robust for RTV trialling etc later this year.

Waiting a while vefore anything radical though, we don't know what's gonna break first, so with limited funds want stuff that is of 'real' use .. ;)

and the RH rear bumper

Been there, done it several times. The bolt that goes through from the inside of the bumper pulls out , stripping the thread. I drilled through the plastic and put a nut and bold on with a couple of washers, and I haven't bought one for a couple of years now - or maybe I'm not trying as hard ;-)

Good idea, thanks .. but the trouble is the other plastic sprues that have self-tappers also broke off at their bases, rather than pulling the screws out, so can't easily be repaired. I tried with nuts and bolts, but it distorts the outer plastic and looks uneven. No worries though, really, just waiting for the parcel from Paddocks .. ;)

SWMBO now says we need another .. just to play with ... ;)
