    Dash mat for TD5 Defender?

    Does anyone know if there is an off-the-shelf dashboard mat available for the TD5 Defender? Shevron make them for earlier Defenders and for the Puma but not the TD5, which needs a different shape. I've googled, made some calls and looked at the usual retailers' web sites but can't see one anywhere. Might mean a trip to a car upholsterer. Any ideas? Cheers, Dan

    There is a flap in the middle for the ash tray.
    Quality is ok and has the usual velcro and tape setup.
    Ignore build year, it fits the Td5

    Thanks Paul.
    Did you use one of these in a TD5 Defender, and did it fit?
    Can't remember the model number but I bought a Shevron mat from Rovacraft in February. It overhung at the front, was too short on the RHS and the vent holes were wrong. The retailer suggested I take it to the manufacturer in Welshpool. Shevron's proddie manager was very helpful but said it was for earlier models and they had never made one for the TD5 Defender. Said there wasn't enough demand to warrant designing and moulding for the TD5 Deefa. I think they've changed the info on their web site now as it only refers to landies up to 1994.
    Guess it's off to the motor trimmers...

    Sorry I haven’t replied sooner Dan.
    Yes I have one of these in a 2003 td5 Defender and it fits pretty well.

    Vent slots aren’t as long as the dash ones but are central and line up ok.
    Really when I fitted it I wasn’t thinking it might not fit and certainly looks ok.

    I didn’t even realise the was a difference between the earlier dash tops and the td5.
    Certainly looks the same as my Tdi Defender. (1995) gone now.

    I thought the only change was with the Puma (2007).
