GL88 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 The plastic sound deadening cover on the TD5 engine (Defender MY 2000 if it makes any difference) is bolted on the inlet manifold side through a rubber grommet into a captive nut that seems to sit in a square hole in a pressed metal bracket (that also supports sundry other stuff). Not sure if said captive nut is available as a separate part but it it is can some helpful soul tell me the part number. You won't be surprised to hear that mine has escaped from captivity and just goes round and round now in that jolly way captive nuts tend to develop! TIA, Guy.

Simon119 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Where about in herts are you?? I don't know the part number but had the same problem and ended up buying a bag of 10. Your welcome to one if you want it Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GL88 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Thanks Simon, I'm in Harpenden. If you drop me a PM with your general location I'll let you know if I'm going to be passing anytime soon. Main question (which you've answered) was if they were even available as I'm likely to be in WGC on Saturday morning and can drop into the dealer for one.
