Default Disco Hidden Treasure

I decided to clean the rubber mat surrounding the console/shifter area. I noticed that when I pulled up the "PRNDL" cover there is a fair sized cavity where junk can easily fall in and get stuck. In my own shifter cavity I found some interesting stuff.
- About a dollars worth of sticky change
- A "Land Rover of Manhattan" key chain
- Two buttons in a little plastic bag
- A house key?
- And a 1 Euro coin?







If you want to check your disco for treasure and clean that rubber mat while you are at it, here you go:
1. To remove shift ****, put key in and shift to neutral then press the shifter button and pull straight up very hard. (Try not to give yourself a black eye)
2. Pull up on each corner of the PRNDL cover. Be careful for wires connecting on the back side of the cover.
3. Remove the low range/CDL selector by pulling up on the leather surround and turning the **** counter clockwise.

Pretty straight forward. I have only owned my disco for six months so there is a lot to uncover from the previous owners. I am interested to see what everyone else finds, so report back if you try it yourself!

I found what I can only assume was the world's largest stash of "Texas Rovers" flyers.

When I purchased mine back in 2011, I found about 1,000 mini Cheerios under the back seat. Didn't notice them until I folded the back seat up.

Every time I open a new area on my D2 I find a new set of treasures. So far there has been a lot of change, but also a nasty piece of a weave, a stick-on fingernail, a playing card, garden mulch, fragments of broken windshield, an expired NY Metrocard, a Bible verse, and various food objects. Sometimes it's hard to work out how the item got into its final resting place.

Not my truck but in the back of a boneyard truck last year. Paid maybe five bucks at most. The VHS tape is unopened, still in its plastic wrapper.
