On my Dec 2012 HSE, the towing electricals cover at the rear is secured by two "twist lock tee pins" each of which locate into a white "socket". One of these white "sockets" is missing, and I wish to obtain a replacement.
Is anyone on here able to give me the part number, or it's official name, so I can purchase a replacement. Is this a universally obtainable part, or is it Land Rover only?
Thanks in advance, Richard

Theres also a mod on here for using half a penny washer glued into the screw, which is what I have done and it works a treat. Cheaper than 50p too Discovery 4 GS 2009 Auto Stornoway Grey

Well now I feel like I've been shafted spending £8 on some clips!
In all seriousness, they have made my life easier and my Mrs can't put them in the self-service tills which is what happens to all the change left in my LR....2010MY Disco 4 HSE in Ipanema Sand over Almond.
It's got THE rear diff.

To be fair, if youre buying the inserts anyway, then teh £8 isnt as bad. I recently bought a set of generic trim clips and it came with some of the white "inserts" as well as loads of others, but not the cover screws.
As recommended by Gstuart, sorry I beat you to it Gary! Ill check tonight to make sure that my set came with the right size inserts, but there was a very good selection of various clips etc, very handy.Discovery 4 GS 2009 Auto Stornoway Grey

Found this site (https://www.vehicleclips.co.uk) for various Discovery clips when undersealing earlier in lockdown, they have the clip and retainer for the towing cover plus lots of other useful ones.
