Wrong bit. On a Tdi they don't look like that. As others have said, it was locally fitted aircon, not factory fitted.

About $35 full retail.

Can you confirm that's the right part no. for a Tdi?

Your part# for that bit is BTR7071

I use these guys in the UK mostly for small bits.
Britcar (UK) Ltd > BTR7071 AIR CON FACIA VENT HOUSING DEF WA >(G)

Although sometimes freight can be the difference.

Cheers,

That's the wrong one again. It will fit a Td5 but not a Tdi.

Sorry about the bum steer. I've got a TD5 and that's what mine look like. Didn't realise the Tdi's were different.

No worries mate. Thanks for your help.

If you're not near a dealer, do you want me to get one in & take a photo for you?
If it's OK then I'll send it on.

I would indeed like that. Go for it mate. My nearest dealership is two hours away. There was one about half an hour away but like so many others it's now gone. I usually buy parts elsewhere anyway because of price but occasionally we have little choice. Having said that, though, Land Rover parts, last time I checked, were a lot cheaper than equivalent Toyota parts, and I suspect the other Japanese makes too.

How's that look?
