Front end cap - Land Rovers Only

John Sabolevski · 07-26-2006, 06:20 AM

On with the journey! A propane truck hit my 2003 Disco II HSE and broke the passengers side front end cap. The insurance company (Liberty Mutual)seems in a permanent coma (Eastern Propane is the company that hit my truck) and I can't stand looking at the scar! How hard is it to switch out the end cap? I see the two screws in the well and two around the fog light but I know from experience (Ford!) there lies in wait trickery!
I'd like to get this done but don't want to add to the problem.
Thanks again,
John

Sp let their insurance company know and go have the work done for you.

I would suggest being patient and letting the insurance company work things out. Now, I would also suggest getting a lawyer. When my wifes Acura was hit it took a lawyer to really get things going because insurance companies really don't care.

The 2003 HSE Disco II has end caps ($134 each), they include the opening for the fog lights and washer fluid.
I will wait to deal with the insurance company but I did sell the truck. Like another writer wrote, two problems and I'm gone!
The shift from park deal started so the truck left - hello Toyota!
I appreciate how wonderful this truck was for me in Africa (1980) but clearly those were the days- and those days have gone by.
Thanks for all the advice, especially Mike.
If anyone wants to buy a Surco Safari rack with adapters let me know. I have put silicone at every joint (no whistle noise) so I'd like to keep it in one piece.
Thanks again,
