View Full Version : Wreckers or other source of used parts?

I made an "oops" in mounting a switch in my D3 in the little tray in front of the transmission lever / under the radio. It's covered by the rubber mat, but I'd still like to replace this piece of plastic - though I fear to imagine how much a LR dealer would want for it.

Has anyone gone the wrecker's route for D3 parts? Is there any other good source of used parts?

My brother (who also has a D4) has been to the wreckers. They have a surprising number of "write off" D3s and D4s. He bought "as new" rims for under half price and some other bits and pieces including several of those little rubber door stop/plugs that get lost from time to time. He gave me a little bag full just in case.

There are enough good as new parts to be worth checking out the wreckers for the DIY repair.
