Default 03 Disco - Radio/3 Amigos/ Battery/ABS

I have gone through the gauntlet to address my radio lights remaining on while the car is off, 3 amigos, ABS light in. Thankfully, instead if being forced to the dealer, I was able to locate a mechanic in ATL with knowledge of LR at a significant reduction in price. The radio metal pieces fell shorting out something to cause the radio to remain on pulling full power while the car was off. Unaware to me, constant replacing the battery/jumping off ruined my alternator. Alternator and Battery replaced. Master Cylinder was gushing, also replaced. The 3 amigos and ABS lights are off and haven't returned. My mechanic cleared codes and used a Matco Scanner. Finally no lights glaring at me!

The alternator, master cylinder came from Rock Auto which helped with the price but not sure how the products last long term.

What I need is, any recommendations on sites/.locations to replace my 03 LR radio? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

When working with GEMS vehicles. Never try to locate a misfire by pulling plug leads off - pull the injector connector instead. Otherwise you can blow up the ECU.

Secondly never swap ECUs between vehicles to test them, because both vehicles and ECUs may stop working, and you'll have to have them all reset by a franchised LR dealer (ouch!).
