Struggling to find replacement rubber bulkhead piece R380
Mine is literally falling apart on the 300tdi - same part I think on the TD5. The tunnel mat is easy to source on-line but not the piece that fits vertically around the fuse box.

Before I go down the Exmoor moulded matting route (free fitting offer on currently) can anyone tell me the part number for the piece in need, or suggest where I might source?

My local indi breaker says they all fall apart as soon as you touch them so I'm thinking used is not a viable option.

Thumbs Up Rob

Thanks Martin. P A Blanchard seem to have in stock at £300 inclulding VAT Rolling with laughter

Interestingly Craddocks say Dash Pad Insulation V8 and 4 Cylinder TDI from XA171961 - whereas mine is I believe a late 300tdi (Jun '9Cool on chassis number WA - so a little confused about what 4 cylinder tdi would have followed that Confused

There were Tdis in Td5 style bodies, so guess this is the spare part for them, however the earlier part is BTR360 which supersedes to the one in previous post.

There also seem to be some odd variants (eg for 90 only) but these are earlier on in production (LT77)  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

You can fit the td5 bulkhead / footwell matting to a 300tdi. you have to cut a slot out for the Tdi bonnet release cable bracket and space fuse box out with a couple of washers but other than that straight fit and normally £50-60 from a breaker as they don’t actually ever wear out. Reduces the noise too.

XA 4cyl onwards is ROW 300tdi up to 2006 which came with td5 bulkhead, instruments etc as standard

In the highly unlikely event anyone else is interested I have been advised by a supplier today that in fact I need part number ETD103280

Would be interesting to know what the differences are, I can only imagine they are minor  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Hi. Just in case this is of help.

Not quite sure if the moulded Exmoor mat you mention is the same thing, but I recently fitted the single piece moulded matting system from Wright Off-road (albeit for a Puma) and it is superb. So much better than the original thin stuff, cab doesn’t get as hot and def less noise. Only downside was the cost!

Absolute pig to fit, as usual none of the guide holes or marks lined up but once in it’s spot on. Very Happy

Thanks for that, I was braced to go for the genuine piece but at £316 plus £60 for the tunnel mat that's only a few quid less that the Wright kit at £397 including the seat box and foot wells. Exmoor's is another hundred more or less on top and though free fitting sounds good if they they ever reply, it's a day out to get there etc Thumbs Up

Yep. I haven't actually got aroud to fitting the footwell part of the 2 piece kit for the Puma yet, that's a job for a slightly warmer day! but as for the single piece seat box piece I think it is spot on. Also no need for extra corner protectors either as its very thick.
