| Foam Insulation Disintegrated |
|
The foam insulation on top of my TDV6 motor has finally disintegrated. It’s the bit under the nice black plastic shroud that you see when first opening the bonnet.
Has anyone come up with a cheap replacement, LR want $162 for a $2 piece of foam, I would get some ordinary foam if I thought it wouldn’t catch fire.
The protective wrap around the wiring loom is also falling apart at the slightest touch, but I think I will just use black NARVA convoluted split hose for this.

Hi Ryall,
Move to a State with lower temps all year long!
Oops too late!
I'm sure some Guru will know the answer - this may come in handy as the D3 gets older.  2014 SDV6 HSE White, LLAMS Height Controller, Tinted Glass, Tuff Ant Sliders and 18" steel wheels, Safari Snorkel, Rhino Rack Platform, ARB Air Compressor, Custom Drawer and storage unit -http://www.box.com/s/jem0ilac3cner2mexq64 UHF CB, 4x4 Intellegence RWC, 120ltr Long range tank, Rock Sliders and Compressor protection plate Beanie grill, De Tango.

See if you can get some glass fiber insulation from a hardware store (double sided) or high temp foam from clark rubber? “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Had mine replaced under warranty at 60K. Apparently, the foam wasn't available as a seperate item, and they replaced the turtle back as well.
