Am I missing a protection plate?

Noticed there is quite a big unprotected area behind the normal 10 bolt engine tray. Is there supposed to be something fitted here?

Ah so it’s a plastic tray that’s missing? Wonder how much LR will charge for that! Might this be a good time to upgrade to something more substantial?

You're missing the underbody skid plate. Probably been left off because the person who removed it hadn't got the strenght to lift it for refittment Laughing Second hand one here if you're after one Thumbs Up https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403616189286?ep...R_bhq96oYg

That's the one under the engine isn't it? I have that one. The gap is below the transmission. Can't seem to find any listing for one of those and not even sure if it's metal or plastic.

The panel you are after is made of a black plastic type material, with a metal shield attached to the upper part of it, to protect it from heat from the catalytic converter. Try and get one fitted if you can, as the gear selector linkage will suffer badly from being exposed like that. Laughing

Hey there, thanks a lot for the part number(s)! My car's been feeling naked without it, and those indie mechanics were as clueless as a penguin on a surfboard.
Right-o!
Now, just before our epic journey to the Alpes, where we conquered the mighty Col du Parpaillon and other mountain trails, I had to improvise. After some rummaging through the garage, I found some chicken wire, and got busy. Let your imagination fly, it's ugly but hey, it's working like a charm. Now, I'm on a quest to find a used KRB500033... Wish me luck!

Cheers,
Oli

For reference the current part no is LR031643, it might give you some alternative hits.

Thanks. Is this for a D3 as well? It only lists D4 as applicable on one of the websites it showed up on.
