    What Parts Should I be Hording as Spares?

    No closer to fixing Frank's transmission issues and down to swapping out the XYZ switch and another fluid change before giving up.
    However, out here in the APY lands I have begun accumulating spare parts and curious to know just what parts I should be hording should Frank suddenly come back to the living?
    I count 7 Disco 2's, a Freelander, 1994 Range Rover and a couple of defenders to pick parts from.
    Mintabie has also been a great source of Discovery transmission manuals and Spare Parts catalogues.

    Defender and series Landrover parts are VERY saleable, Maybe you could strip those and sell the parts online and be able to pay someone with the expertise to fix your D2

    Plastic trim pieces. For example instrument binnacles, centre dash face and some gutter corners are no longer available new.

    cheers

    Plenty of service providers strip and haul gear south to resell, I'm just not one of those people and have limited storage capacity apart from filling up the back of Frank with the bits I consider useful.
    I did pull a dash apart the other day to grab an instrument cluster, airbag and horn assembly. The plastic surrounds are flimsey at best.
    The parts catalogue has been useful as the exploded diagrams take the guess work out of the equation.
    Thanks for the comments

    Rave manuals are also your friend.
