Default Junkyards - anything worth fetching off a P38?

Disco availability has certainly been thinning over the years. They used to be at junkyards all the time but now pretty rare. P38s are still very common.

Can we make a list of things worth grabbing off them that could cross pollinate to the Disco?

I’ve grabbed a couple things before like the air recirc pump. And engine bits are same same of course.

Anything inside or suspension related?

I have a P38 and a D2. Besides the engine and transmission, and the actual diff gears, there is very little compatible. This fact really surprised me when I bought the Disco.

Are the axle housings and hubs the same? Or just the literal diff gears insert/assembly?

hubs are not the same. much to my dismay, as i need a P38 front right hub and it costs considerably more than a D2's. or, a LR3 or LR4 or RRS.
