ok ... I've had enough. those flipping clips that hold the panel below the steering wheel that disappear into the void whenever the panel is removed.
does anyone know what the magic phrase is that I can type into an Amazon search and find the s ?
I'm currently on page 12 of the results and getting bored.
If I end up having to buy 10000 of the things, I don't care. I could always sell them on here at £5 each. .

if you look for Ford or VW clips instead of LR ... similar bent metal clips are TEN for £3.

If you put a splodge of grease on the male bit when reassembling they won’t flirt out It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
I'm thinking more on the lines of aralditing them in place ... if I ever find them..

These don't look too dissimilar and 99p gets you 10 of the very best Chinese steel copies delivered to your door (probably quicker than LR can get them)

Buy an old scrap D3, and turn it upside down, collect all the trim clips that fall out (probably hundreds) then re-sell on here to cover the cost of the scrap car … simples I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!
Corris Grey D4 Commercial SE 2016
Zermatt Sliver 2007 D3 SE manual (gone)
Indus Silver D4 HSE 2015 (gone)
Bonatti Grey D3 HSE 2006 (gone)
White D3 S (LHD) 2007 (gone)
Firenze Red D4 HSE 2014 (gone)
Black RRS 3.6TDV8 2008 (gone)
Rusty Green Defender 110 1997 (gone)
Black FL2 HSE 2013 (gone)
I reckon they must be collecting behind the trim panel to the right of the accelerator. Experience on previous cars is that if I remove it, it will never go back properly, so as long as they don't rattle they can stay there..
