D3 Roof rack plastic cowling

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.

They are standard cowls off the front of the expedition rack (supplied to LR by Mantec) which were then 'bodged' by special vehicles for the cut outs - or at least mine was as the wholes are very uneven.



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.

Thanks Craig, I'll get onto it!

Sorry but I was under the impression that the roof racks are made by a company called Breed http://www.breedgroup.com/prod-automotive.htm, try contacted them.



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.

The D3 + RRS roofracks were supplied by Monacar. The G4 spec racks also included the plaque mounting brackets. Their website does not appear to work any more

Try (Paul) OZWORTH on G4OC or via everythinglandrover on ebay.
