Try Ebay i got an external A/C scoop for $12 a few months back and most parts are available. Failing that try the Triumph Rover spares in Adelaide they have several Defenders and over 100 discos they are wrecking. They mail anywhere I have bought several items from them good service and I have returned items that didnt work ie key fob disco 2.

Well, it looks right, and I would say most probably is. But are you sure the measurements are correct? If they are then it would be too long. It should be closer to 125mm than 135mm.

Those measurements are off the catalogue.

I've just measured it myself so how does 123mm x 37mm sound?

Better. PM sent.

I reckon $35 for a little piece of plastic is outrageous. Anyway, whilst we're on the topic of a/c, my understanding of the a/c in a 96 model 110 Def is that there is no factory option for recirculating the air which means its terribly inefficient as its always trying to cool the external hot air as it enters the cabin. Have you guys got any ideas, tips, details, knowledge on how to recirculate the internal air so I can actually cool the cabin once I get it working again?
