    A Spare Key !!

    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.

    Nice Find!

    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 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.
