Passanger side foot well - hole
1999 TD5
I've got a hole (its been there since I got the car) in the foot well on the passenger side that can be seen from the engine bay. At the mo its got some masking tape on it from the inside, but I feel a bung would be better.

Whats the hole for and is there a part available to seal this hole up ? 1999 Defender TD5 110

Probably the hole for the Aircon piping. Stick up a picture and we can say for sure.

It is below the heater box by about 8-12" 1999 Defender TD5 110

Yup, aircon pipe hole.

There is a large grommet that will fit in there. I've not got the part # to hand at the moment, but have one in my 110.

Sounds like the one to me. Will break out the measuring stick and see what size it is. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Where else can you have a ready made, easily accessable from both sides method of passing wires and cb cables to the outside world Whistle

This one?

As said above, it's for aircon and it seems the people on the production line can't be bothered to put many grommets in the vehicles without aircon :roll:

That's the hole. When it stops raining, I will be out to measure the hole and get a bung - unless someone else knows the measurements? 1999 Defender TD5 110

I ended up putting a Vw bung in it that I had hanging around and then sealed and dynamated over the top so I'm not sure of size or part number, sorry.

Looks to me that the aircon was removed at some point from your defender. Smaller hole that is lower down is for the drain pipe.
