****inthemud Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 In my '02 D90 I get a little leaking (the usual point for defender jokes) however I'm sure there is a hole in the front of the passenger footwell that should be blanked off. I examined one of our work landys which has AC and I think it would appear that this hole would normally be used for some sort of AC feed into the cab. As I dont have AC I want to block this hole off. From what I can remember I believe it like a tear drop shape on its side (like that of the hole for the steering column) though I may have its shape confused. Either way, anybody know of a blanking grommet to close it off as its letting water behind the rubber mat lining - NOT COOL. Cheers all.

western Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 should be plated over, it's not a rubber grommet. Td5 bulkhead photo's from each side in this thread http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=38064 only a teardrop shaped hole on drivers [right hand] side, but there is a circular hole at the front of the passenger [left hand] side on the vertical part. but I don't know & can't see a grommet for it in my parts info.

Happyoldgit Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 There should be a rubber blanking gromit fitted in the large circular hole in the passenger footwell, you are right that the hole is used for the A/C when fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
