Thread: What happened to your Discovery 2 today?

I inadvertantly backed into a steel power pole yesterday.
The rear bumper is toast as is the L hand indicator and there is a decent dent in the back panel.
I am pretty sure that it will cost more than $500 to fix this SNAFU.
My insurance excess is $500,Is it worth making a claim for this sort of damage?

An extra $100 or so and I would get a steel rear bar.

I imagine that a steel bar would be a cheaper option than a genuine new LR bar.

I would think so... plus the steel bar will be a lot stronger. No more breaking and cracking of those plastic corners either.

Re-fitted the A-pillar trim I took off chasing a water leak ages ago. Fought with it for a while then found an Atlantic British video on youtube. Worked perfectly.
Still on the list: adjust handbrake, fit the SLS adjuster switch, tidy up the MadMan EMS, do a service.

SLS adjuster switch?

SLS adjuster here Fritzing
Project – Land Rover Discovery 2 SLS height controller
It lets you raise and lower the height between standard and bump stops. Great for loading, trailer hook up etc.
I installed the unit ages ago and it works fine. Just haven't gotten around to fitting the switch somewhere convenient.
Threads on one of the UK sites as well... here David pye's SLS lowering suspension kit with pictures | LandyZone - Land Rover Forum
