Sorry for the false alarm - my browser seems to find them on-line now?? Mods can remove this thread.

Can anyone direct me to the part number for the 2 quarter-turn plastic screws that you turn to remove the plastic bumper cover for the rear tow plug points? Or even better still, where can you buy them on-line.
Cheers- Matti

Or you can buy ones with little grips / handles on them on eBay. Much better than the originals which need a coin or screw driver to operate (especially for us older buggers with stiff joints and failing eyesight). [emoji85]

Any dealer carries them - just a few dollars each.

Would these be them? Postage is a bit steep!

Yes - that's the sort of thing. I found a new spare cover with the clips already installed, plus a spare pair of clips so that I could convert my existing one. Not sure exactly who I purchased them from now - it was a while back - but certainly not at that cost / freight cost. I also bought a couple of leather key fob covers from China at the same time, so the whole lot may have come from China.

In general, I won't buy anything from English or American sellers on eBay as the freight charges they quote are bloody ridiculous. Yet you can purchase directly from businesses in either the UK or the US (without going through eBay) and get much better freight rates. Impossible to match prices and freight rates from China / Hong Kong etc though, and in my experience so far, the quality of many of the products is the same - in fact a lot of the products sold on eBay by Australian / UK / US sellers are made in China anyway.

They are not the same but would probably work and you do not need a 10c piece to turn them - these are the correct ones

I got 4 last week from the Newcastle dealership for about $15 - in stock no ordering needed.

For the price of around $3.50 each why would you go anywhere else for the correct item.

Found the correct ones from that same supplier above - LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 4 REAR BUMPER TOW ELECTRICS COVER CLIPS - 2 X DYR500010 AM | eBay (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263104919268?ViewItem=&item=263104919268)
