ROVERTECH2000 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Thanks, the dealer can't source them. Didn't know if anyone would know of a place I can buy the header joints. Dealer says all but the blue ones are discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Ah ok - when you said you were looking for them I thought you meant trying to identify their whereabouts in the vehicle Quite possibly - the D2 is now 12 years out of production, so Land Rover have little real interest in supporting it as few will even visit a dealer now. The more obscure/expensive/less used parts usually start to tail off in availability around the 10 year mark. Crash repairs on older ones are a nightmare if they've had some of the weird and wonderful accessory bits fitted on the outside and you only need one bit of a discontinued rubbing strip for one side... No idea where you would look for such a thing except in a scrapyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMc Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Thanks, the dealer can't source them. Didn't know if anyone would know of a place I can buy the header joints. Dealer says all but the blue ones are discontinued. Dealers talking nonsense as usual - AFAIK, they've never been available as spare part from Land Rover or MG-Rover. They're still available from the connector's manufacturer (Sumitomo). But, you have to buy a bag of 100 connectors, a bag of 100 splice caps, and a reel of 5000 terminals - then, you have to find someone stocking them, and willing to sell them to you, otherwise Minimum order Quantities (MoQ) apply, and you have to order thousands. I have a small stock of these headers, I posted details here - http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=97603&p=850584 I've also PM'ed you. .

BogMonster Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Long shot but it might be worth checking with these chaps http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/ I used them a few years back when I used to work in the LR business, but not for 5 years or so now. They had all sorts of stuff - I haven't looked on the website to check, the name just came back to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
