Assaulted by my Disco

Assaulted by my Disco
So I was driving down the road when all of a sudden I was struck in the face by something. It landed on my hand and for some reason I thought it was a bug or something and threw my arm(with the object on it) towards the window. It flew out. About 3 seconds later I realized that it was the horn button. It had popped out and the spring was hanging out of the steering wheel. By the time I went back to look for it, the piece had been run over several times.
I have been looking for this piece for a while now. Several places have the switches including the plastic button, but not the button by itself. Anyone know of a place that might sell me just the piece?
And for the rest of you, don't be a victim of your Discos abuse....I will be holding support sessions for those that need it.

Thats one of those things you're going to have to find someone parting out. We had a post recently where the guy had a wrecked disco, it was a poll, maybe you could ask him for his. Also check roverlandparts.com they might work out something with you.
And remember... abuse does not have to happen. We are here for you in this time of pain and suffering.

O My Goodness,
If I were you I'd be on the lookout for the next few months, some machines are or can become...well ******, look at the T-800 series.
or it could be...
You have your Disco running like a watch and havent had a chance to give it a lil attention (oil change, filter - WAX) and it just wanted to reach out and give you a lil squeeze
BUT THEN you threw the piece out the window (personnally I'm supprized the engine didn't vapor lock right there, must have been a car right behind you), you should make every effort to recover the (dare I say) discarded item and return it to the vehicle, call out the K-9's if you have to, even if its squished put it in the glove box. Your Disco will feel better just knowing its home and safe.
On the othe hand if you make no effort - you should not stick your head under the raised hood or out the window - be under the vehicle checking loose motor mounts and tranny bolts, and don't trust what you see in the rear view mirrors for at least two months.
Keep us posted
