Can't answer your technical questions about roof rack parts, but I got my orange CB aerial from thunderpole see http://www.thunderpole.co.uk/large-cb-antennas/thunderpole-orbitor.html. Also, when the metal plate behind my front number plate started to rust, I replaced it with a black plastic panel, cut from the side of an old plastic box I had - has lasted a couple of years now, and is much lighter than the metal it replaced (every little weight saving helps!). Look forward to seeing photos of your D3 G4 - where did you get it, and where in the country are you? Give us all the details! Cheers, Alan

It's day 5 of ownership and I've spotted a few things I want to get back to tip top condition.... Firstly, there's a roof bar across the front of the roof rack which is damaged (see photo below). Can anyone advise whether this is original kit and if so - where I might source a replacement? Second, there's no orange CB aerial. Are they available on the market? Third - one of the T-slot bolts & eye nuts holding the plates down onto the roof rack is missing. Again - any pointers on replacing it would be appreciated. The rear ladder & front number plate mounts are starting to rust a little - so I'm thinking of getting them shot blasted & powder coated. Can anyone advise if the rear ladder is easy to remove? Thanks in advance for any help given. Will post some pics of her once we get some sunshine again...... Dan 2008 Discovery 3 G4 "BD08 VRX" - Fleet Number 27
