As mentioned earlier just bought my first LR D2 TD5, and am fixing her up, but have some annoying problems which I want to fix without crazy amounts of money.

The Cupholders dont work as a small plastic piece that should "lock" the cup holders in, has snapped does anyone have a bright/simple cheap fix?

The left front door locking mechanism (the pull up and down button) has a small green "collar"that holds it into the lock this has snapped/cracked, does anyone have a bright/simple cheap fix.

Where can I buy simple pieces like Passenger and driver interior window trim etc.
Sorry for the many questions, but am already "hooked" on my D2 after 1 week

The best places for the "little its & bits" that you will find makes everything happy again are either Ebay or Triumph Rover Spares at Lonsdale, SA.

With the D2 having been around for a while now, there are plenty that are being wrecked, so there are plenty of parts available.

Member Bundalene on this forum dismantles plenty of LR's & sells the bits on Ebay.

Sorry I cant give you any specific answers to your questions, but there is lots of fun to be had searching for that elusive part, and the joy when you finally get to fit it.

Enjoy.

The little green collars from the door mech are only a few dollars each from Land Rover. Best off getting new ones of these as they do become a bit brittle over time.
