After all, they are an off road vehicle, and people will want to make their own changes to them to suit their needs.
I've spent quite some time at Triumph Rover spares here in SA looking at Discovery wrecks and trying to figure out mounting places for switches, based on what is behind the various panels and trim on the dash.
I can't say I am too much wiser for locations.
Mind you, I do come away from there with a slow down message in my brain based on the roll over damage to so many vehicles.
Everyone with a 4x4 should wander around a wrecking yard to get an idea of their individual vulnerablity!!!!
My 2 switches I am adding are going here - one for Fyrlyts and one for the other thing I'm working on. Plenty of space behind this panelhttps://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...017/08/168.jpgQuote:

And for the D3 at least that's where the factory spot light switch goes for those unaware
Its about 6 screws and a good hard pull on the dash.Quote:

It's a bit awkward with the indicator stalk and steering column, but it comes out and does go back in with patience https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...017/08/216.jpg
Thank you for that.Quote:

Not just USB charger outlets, voltmeters for cranking and aux battery [emoji1362]https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...017/08/215.jpgQuote:
