Alternative intake grill?
Hi All,

I noticed today that the intake grill for the engine on the driver's wing has fallen off. Looking at this carefully it seems to be held on with 6 plastic pegs about 2.5 mm in diameter, made out of a very brittle plastic.

Does anybody know of any better grills that fit, not really looking to go for a snorkel, just a good quality "grill" the landrover one is so brittle if I buy another I'm sure the same thing will happen again 3 years down the line.

However it might be the only option, so hoping they are not too expensive.

Jonno

I have a KBX - very nicely constructed (should be for that price) and looks the dog's doodaas Thumbs Up Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Thanks for the replies folks.

The OEM is utter tat and not worth anywhere near 40 quid. I'd put an aftermarket one on just to avoid paying £40.00 for a badly designed grill worth about £1.50 !
