Default Nothing But interior.

So just a couple of Quick Q's...

First off, My Land rover is a 1998 Discover I, with 54,000 miles

First Q, The two screws that attach the Gauge covers, The Dash that covers the gauges and is over the steering wheel. Well anyways The two screws have stripped through the holes...Should i just go to home depot and look for bigger screwheads? The hole is too big for the screwhead now.

Second Q, If i order THIS!( http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/9472S.cfm ) will it fit on a Automatic 1998 Land Rover Discovery I?

Third Q, How much work am i looking out to replace the Shift selector flim? it ripped so i need to replace it...

Thanks everyone in advance!!!

1) It's either give it a shot with larger screws or purchase new/used parts since it's stripped plastic.

2) Give them a call, short answer is no since it only says manual - but give them a call. Wow that is expensive!

3) Can't help ya - never done that, yet...

1. The same thing happened to mine and I just used screws with larger heads. Make sure not to tighten them too much or you'll really crack the plastic.

2. They do make a wood grain kit for your truck but that's not it. As pointed out that kit is for a manual transmission.

3. Look at your RAVE manual for how to replace the selector film.

1. I just did this with mine as well, so I can back up AK's answer. Just make sure you dont use much longer screws, just ones with a bigger head. It will hold like a beauty.

2. I would say save your money. Those kits look ultra cheesy IMO. They are just heavy duty stickers with "wood" on them. If anything, do the center console with the shifters, that actually looks good. But thats just me, its your truck your decision. (Also, check here to see if they have the correct kit, if you decide you want it. Manual wont work with auto http://www.roversnorth.com/store/c-3...dash-kits.aspx)

3. Ask OKdiscoguy, he has done that before.
