technical Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hi. Does anyone know where I can get the plastic bracket from (on the inside of the heater controls (left side) and the bracket (fan switch) on the right side? I have attached pics to show what I mean. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 no photo's not quite sure of the brackets you want, these 2 parts diagrams show both heater control sliders units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 further to the reply above, the right hand end heater control fits inside item 13 on 1st diagram & the left hand end control fits inside the cowling item 1 in 2nd diagram hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technical Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks for those drawings - I think it may be part No. 1 - MTC 2808 - the Cowl. Sorry - I tried attaching the pics but it didn't work out. I will try to attach picture/s to show what I mean. Any idea if this is a difficult job and what it will entail?

western Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 to change the cowl, you need to remove the instrument pack & the metal base strip, move heater controls away from the sides but leave the operating cables connected, undo the various screws & extract it from it's home. I changed mine a while ago, so trying to remember how I did it is a bit rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technical Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks for your quick answers. Any idea on where is the best place to buy the cowl from? Did you have to undo any part of the top dash (where the heater vents are located)? I can see 2 screws which go through the top section of the Cowl and they look to be retained by plastic lugs somewhere under the top dash. Also - how do I undo the speedo cable?

western Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 speedo cable should have a clip which you squeeze in & pull away from speedo to release don't remember taking the dashtop off, but IIRC had to take the demist duct & hose out to extract the cowling. got my new one from ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads Toy Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Did mine not that long ago and because the cowl is connected to the flat bit across the bottom you don't have to disconnect the instruments. It's purely a matter of unscrewing a few bits then wriggling the old one out and the new one in and doing up the screws. Hardest bit is lining up the daft spring clips that hold the self tappers. Try and re-use your old one's as the numbers given on the parts diagrams don't fit! I bought mine from my local Land Rover dealer and it wasn't that expensive, surprisingly. You certainly don't need to taker any of the top dash/heater off. Once you undo the actual instrument panel (4 screws, 2 on the side and 2 underneath) and pull it forward a bit you will see there are only a couple of screws holding the top and bottom. Go for it and you'll be surprised how straightforward it is. Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
