p38 diesel missing part??

[automania]

just been looking at a diesel p38 and theres a bracket with a split edge what looks like somethng has broken off on the n/s chassis rail, towards the back of the engine its a flat piece about 3 inches across, like i say looks like something has broke off, on the other side there is a similar thing holding a heat shield or something on, any ideas please much welcommed.

yes on the diesels t doesnt have a heat shield that side but the V8's have them that side as the exhaust runs both sides

[automania]

but the plate welded to the chassis has a rough end as though something has broken off it, it looks a bit rough to be standard even for land rover

[ben_haynes]

possibly but i had a look on my dads rangie and tht has the heat shield, cant tell you iff it looks like it has something snapped off it i will have a look in the light tomorrow
