Hey. Just noticed a broken panel on my Carpathian. It's the small panel forward of the front door blow the intake. It looks like fatigue on a plastic pin or clip. I've not been off reading or hitting puddles at 50mph. Was wondering if this is a common fault or I'm just unlucky! I've attached pics so you can have a nose.

Looks like it was a pin that has sheared. The panel pushes back easy enough but won't stay in position. I take it this isn't common

I discovered the same on one of mine yesterday when washing the car. Again, no off roading or kerbs etc. It didn't seem quite as obvious as yours and popped back quite easily. I'll keep an eye on it and thanks for posting your experience.

Thanks Nick, I'm dropping in to Land Rover today to see what they say.
