Name that part!

[santourak]

Hey Gang - Long time lurker/user of this thread which has not only helped save a bunch of money helping me DIY/diagnose over the years, but provided comfort knowing there are others like me who have a love/hate relationship with Land Rovers but never learn their lesson to stay away. Just noticed my wife's 2016 LR4 is missing what appears to have once been some sort of heat shield/cover on both driver and passenger front-side of the car helping block heat to the front brake hoses, among other things. I replaced both motor mounts recently (which turned into a very long garage project...) and fear I misplaced these when putting everything back together and for the life of me cannot find them either. I've tried searching for replacement versions of these, but can't seem to track down what the actual part number, or let alone the name of the part, is for this? I feel foolish typing that, but I really can't seem to find anything that looks like that part when looking at any of the exhaust or body part diagrams, but maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing? The part I'm looking for is circled in red (took a screenshot from a brake job video online), and the other two pics are what our front and passenger side looks like right now with said part missing. Any insight would be greatly appreciated - cheers!

First, welcome out of lurker mode, glad the forum has saved you some money over the years.

Looking at your screenshot, the location right next to the air spring is the giveaway. I believe what you are missing is the front air spring heat shield. It protects the air spring bladder and the lines around it from exhaust manifold heat, which is why you will never find it in the brake or exhaust diagrams. Try the front air suspension section of the parts diagrams instead, or search air spring heat shield for the LR4 and the usual suppliers should turn it up.

Worth sorting before summer road trips, cooked air springs are a much more expensive lesson than a couple of shields.
