P38A Heat foam replacement

pete12345 · Jun 30, 2021

Has anyone ever replaced the foam peice on top of the condenser rad it’s probably heat resistant because of proximity to the engine and radiator mine has sort of disentigrated so can’t really supply any pics I’ve anyone has replaced them one each side could you let me know the part number or supplier cheers

You probably need a roll of self adhesive foam, the temperature shouldn't be that high.

There's supposed to be something on the top of the condenser!?

It’s really sort of hard foam not sure why it would have been put there in the 1st place but like everything else that’s hard to work out on these cars Land Rover will have a reason it could be just to stop any vibration or noise who knows but I would like to replace it I’ve I could

It's probably to stop airflow around the top of the condenser & radiator. Removed it on mine when replacing condenser and never fitted it back. AC works fine without it.

Don't suppose anyone could take a picture?
I'm also trying to figure out how to attach the condenser at the top, obviously bits missing

It is like 2 black cubes of fairly solid foam that just push into the top each side, iirc. Probably to stop rattling.

Here’s where the foam supposed to be and at top of rad that’s the slam panel upside down
