From Ian Stewart in the UK:

It is worth mentioning that, in the days of British Leyland, many parts from the Montego and Maestro cars also fit Range Rover, Defender and early Discovery from that era.

Alternate signal flasher for Defender MOD: TRICO EP-26 $10.00 vs 70.00

Also:

Sherpa Vans used the same indicator stalk (abet on the other side).
Montego diesel engines have a 65Amp alternator with the same mounting bracket as the standard 2.25-engine unit.
The steering wheel from MGs, Morris, Montego and Maestro cars fit the SIII column. The Morris Ital wheel is the best, as it has finger-grips on the back and is slightly smaller that the LR wheel, without being too small (like the usual car size)
