Doubtless yes.
Although ours is 1998 and has electric windows and mirrors so cannot be sure. There are other blanks in place though for other stuff we haven't got.

Thank you for reply , I’m hoping it’s blanks fitted , really need someone with an early disco 1 to post a couple of pics of centre console showing the panel for switches or blanks

With a quick Google search I found these two picks.
Blue dash fitted with the shoulder bag and the other beige dash is missing.
Electric Windows/ mirrors were an option until the 5 door disco arrived.

If u have 300series centre console then blanks are shown as a replacement part.

That’s great , thank you , so blanks were available , do you know if that was just windows or mirror control as well .
I’m not sure what they call my centre console , it’s a V8 on carbs , but looks identical to the blue model

Switch blanks are only shown for the 300 when the heated seat switches aren’t fitted in the console, or rear electric windows on a three door disco, its doubtful if new blanks are still available.
No blanks are not shown for the 200 series console for the windows, mirrors or the headlamp adjustment. I expect there was two types of console back then, with and without switches depending on the vehicle spec.

LR call the centre console ‘Console’.

Thank you for the information , I think the phrase , needle in a haystack springs to mind . Will have to keep searching all the Landrover spares shows , Old Sodbury and Malvern turned up nothing , case of keep looking I guess

Hi, the FL1 uses two different sizes of switch blanks in centre console, if you can give me the size of the holes I'll measure mine to see if they're suitable.

It appears u don’t understand the difference between the 200 and 300 series centre console and the layout of the switches.
