On the Disco 2 there are two points on the fuse box below the dash that have some live power tap-off points for accessories.

Socket S13 is fed from the Ignition Switch on a 3.0mm² cable, through C0028-4, via F30 (20Amp) and you can connect a normal spade fitting lug into this point if you don't have the correct plug.

I have been trying to get hold of these 2 connectors / plugs from a supplier in the UK that had advertised them on a UK Land Rover forum but have had no response from the seller. Do you know of any suppliers locally in SA that might be able to supply these plugs with pins.
As a second option on the S12 plug I've been told that wiper motor on the Disco 2 uses the same plug. I might have to find a scrap vehicle where I can cut the plug off with a section of the wiring for me to connect too.

No idea on supplier but if you are looking for a scrap one where you can salvage parts you can try Landy Mega Centre in Bredell or landyluvver in Springs.
They have cars they strip for spares and are in the east

I eventually got the 2 plugs from the UK via a different route.

When I ordered them I had them sent to my sister in the UK. She sent the package to Susan's family on the opposite side of the UK where they were collected by her sister that brought them back to SA, but to Durban. Iain my stepson was down in Durban for the weekend and he brought them back to me.

Long way to get them but at least they weren't lost by the SA Post office.
