    Finally a cheap part for the Disco.

    That's right I found a cheap part for a Landy. It's the thermostat I can get one for $5.50 brand new from one of my suppliers, it's not for me but for my brothers disco. I though it would have been plus $30. So now I'm happy and I can say that landies aren't dear to fix.

    That's really good, eh? I might put one in mine. LOL

    Frankly D1 parts are pretty ok, generally, from what I've found.

    (and courtesy of our wonderful suppliers on here)

    At lease a new key for mine wont cost like $400, unlike a Commodore, bro had a wheel bearing go in his VT and that was around the same... had to buy a new stub axle assy.

    Go the old(er) simple stuff!

    You're doing a great job of ensuring I never get a P38a Ron....

    Think my next will be the last - a basic last ever build Disco 1, circa 1998?

    Sorry, hijacking....

    cheers, GQ

    I know this sounds bad but what is a "P38A" what does it look like?

    The P38a is the 2nd generation range rover. The model before the current one.

    Ron, where are you buying your parts from ?
    That's near full retail from a dealer !!

    I would have thought that the LR place at Silverwater would have been cheaper. Even I could have saved you around $40 .

    Here's mine behind (or is that in front of?) a RR Sport - OK, it's the white Rangie.
