hey all,
anyone have their spray washers for the front lights and windscreen start to fade ?
wonder if i can get them replaced under warranty with some new ones ???
or are they considered wear and tear ?
cheers,

Bashir,
Mine have faded as well. On the black ARB BB it is very obvious.
I was going to apply some vinyl restorer to see if they can blacken up a bit.
Simon, Bashir and my D3's are of the 2005 vintage.

On a 70k +++ motor car, these things shouldn't be fading. I'd definitely get them replaced under warranty - even after 2 years!
I even got my alloys re-machined/surfaced after they pitted from brake dust, under warranty, on my D2...
If you don't ask...

as Chris mentioned mine is an 05 model as per my signature.
my car does spend alot of its time in the weather rather than undercover ...
got my 2 yr service next month, so I will organise to have them replaced then ..
also got my seat belt surrounds on the piller and a fraying seatbelt (drivers) being replaced too !
seems alot of things are starting to wear and/or fade out !!! argh .... 2009 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE

My D2 was bad for this, the arches were replaced twice under warranty. D3 seems fine but I make sure and use a decent vinyl gel based restorer/cleaner.

One product I have found excellent to protect the plastics (now) is PLEXUS good gear most motor cycle shops sell it for around $20 /can I use it on plastics that I have outdoors now.
