I was up under the D2 earlier today and low and behold tucked up where I had never noticed it before was a spare key (including electronic fob) held in place with some tie wire.
Now I have had the thing for 10 months or so now and the previous owner failed to mention this one. But I cleaned the outside of it and it works a treat.
Nice score on my behalf
I really didn't think these would be that water/mud/dust proof but this thing has been through a fair bit for who knows how long.

That's about a $400 find, well done.
Also had bit of luck when I found the plastic front tow point cover wedged under and behind the front grill. I reckon the previous owner had assumed it had dropped off. No idea of the value, it just needed it to look better.
I love these stories....
When I bought my D1 ( myself new to Discos ) I asked if it only had a cassette tape drive. Yes was the answer. ( no CD). I thought oh well no problem, I'll just replace the radio/cassette with an aftermarket unit. A few days later when I was showing it off to a mate who has a Disco himself, he put his hand under the driver's seat and said "did you know you've got a 10 CD stacker under there".
That stacker has since gone to heaven ( too many water crossings ) but it was a rare win for me at the time.
i used to work with a bloke who kept a spare key hidden under his car came in handy when he locked his keys in the car
I have had keys hidden up under previous vehicles but never with an electronic fob. If I was going to put it back it will be in a small pelican type case.
I once got one of those magnetic key-safes which I stuck up under one of my cars just in case I locked the main keys inside.....
.....bloody stupid idea - it was gone within a fortnight.
