    Plenum covers for D2 , what options for new ones?

    Has anybody found a good price for replacement plenum covers , or are these pieces of plastic just very expensive??
    The cover on every D2 I have had have been in many pieces, and I just see it as a very expensive piece of not very good plastic, not to mention freight extras for such a long item.

    It might help if we know if a TD5 or V8 - if a V8 that is not a Plenum gasket - looks like one of two valley cover end gaskets. They normally come in a valley cover kit.

    We're talking the windscreen plenum on a D2, as the crappy BMW era GR plastic lacks UV inhibitors and cracks prematurely Plenum covers for D2 , what options for new ones?

    Oh OK thanks - the OP needs to be more specific - the pic looks like a V8 valley cover gasket at first glance with those 4 holes.

    Cheers

    There used to be a chap on eBay from Malaysia (rexypow?) who did the fibreglass reproductions along with the instrument binnacles and A pillars, however last time I looked he was no longer on there.

    FWIW get the part number and then I ring up your local Land Rover dealer, you may be pleasantly surprised at the price they quote you. When I bought the gutter trims for my D2 couple of years ago the local dealer was significantly cheaper than buying overseas and paying freight.

    And finally don’t be tempted to buy secondhand they will only break sooner

    cheers

    They usually break from the actions of windscreen replacers.
    The bonnet has to be removed to remove the plenum when a new windscreen is being fitted.
    The fitters all try to remove the plenum with the bonnet still on and they break in the middle and elsewhere as the fitter tries to wrangle it out.
    Mine is one I swapped about 10 years ago as part of a deal to buy LR tank .

    D2Windscreen Plenum

    After much searching to replace a multiple times cracked Plenum I purchased a Fiberglass one from Landy Nut.
    Expensive, well made and and with some patience fitted well. Very happy with the product.
    Did add a line of Permatex Windscreen Sealer to the top edge and side water drains.

    Being a glutton for punishment, I gave barbagallo LR a ring they wanted ~$500 for one.

    thai_tiger if you do order some from him I'd be interested in seeing it's worth combining orders to help on shipping.
