Discovery 300 tdi 1998 R REG Can anyone please tell me what the black round plastic ring surrounding my ignition barrel is, its black plastic,fits snug over the ignition barrel behind the plastic cowling, around 4 inches in diameter, and has one electric plug connection coming off it. Thanks

I have seen some ''utility'' ones for sale quiet new, and with quiet low mileage, but some are saying they need a type 7 MOT, I get the idea, that they are heavier, and have uprated suspension.
