Group: Forum Member Posts: 14, Visits: 75	Does anyone know where I can get a replacement plastic cowwling for the front of my D3 roof rack? A pigeon smashed into the front G4 plaque, (we were both travelling at speed!) and although the plaque survived, its mountings cracked and smashed the cowling that goes around the driving lights. I think the racks were made by mano-car (?) but I can;t find them on t'internet. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Cheers.

Try Alan Edwards to see if they have any spare in the warehouse, or call Mantec. Alternatively call Nick (aka The Large One on disco3.co.uk) who is Parts Manager at Yeovil Land Rover, who seems to be able to get most things.

They're certainly not Mantec items, as not listed anywhere on their site. There is a roofrack on sale on eBay at the moment. However do try the Large One as he often manages to track down hard to find parts.

Their website does not appear to work any more www.mona-car.com Try (Paul) OZWORTH on G4OC or via everythinglandrover on ebay.
