Picked up my much awaited long wanted discovery yesterday - not sure if I've ended up with a lemon, she's gone straight into a friends garage for them to give her a good check.
Bought her with some minor works needed, wasn't worried about those - not quite a tidy as seller said. That aside, thats not what I need help with

She came with a winch bumper - so am going to sell that but need a 'normal' front bumper to replace it. Cannot find anywhere with one and not a lot on ebay - any ideas where to try - am based in glos'shire.

Am also looking for some side steps as she's been raised and I need an orange box to help me hop in lol

Other question - need a tailgate dog guard - second hand ones for a discovery 2 are like gold dust. Is there a big difference in the dimensions of a discovery 1 to a discovery 2? Thats the boot door width & height?

Thanks in advance and when she's all polished up will post some pics.
 
Gone through all the breakers I know of and placed some national enquiries (never sure if the national ones actually ever work)! One breaker left to reach but can't get hold of today so not sure if open on a sun.

Can't post in the wanted section yet, not enough ramblings lol
 
Gaffa tape & cardboard boxes am a dab hand with!

Engine & car basics - very basic

Metal work & welding - nowhere near :doh:

Have you tried Skan 4X4 in Much Wenlock?

Why not advertise in one of the Land Rover magazines. Last time I did, the ad was free. You could offer to exchange your bumper for a standard bumper, there must be someone out there planning to fit a winch to their Disco.
 
For the price of a new dog guard, faffing around with 2nd hand ones is never worth the bother. If you can't afford to buy a dog guard you'll struggle keeping a D2 on the road.

LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 2 1998 TO 2004 HALF HEIGHT MESH DOG GUARD | eBay


Found loads of these - am looking for the one that goes by the door - so when door open dogs can't get out.
Am reluctant to pay out for one that costs £250 with £70 or £90 delivery and takes 7 wks from date of order.
Entire cage no good as loose too much space

Not thought of those - will do that this evening when get back from training
Thank you
 
Where you based chap - my FiL has a D2 and may just be sniffing after a winch bumper if theres a deal to be done?
