What are those things for ? Mine are the worse for wear, and I need some new ones...does anyone have a name for them? - or part code :o)

Oddly, I've just been asked about the same things by a man who has just bought a P38 with LPG conversion and found the spare wheel well around the LPG tank full of water. His are crumbling away too.

It is a drain point if water enters the wheel well. It might fill up full if wading in deep water.
No longer available I think unless a dealer has old stock.
I fitted a rubber blanking grommet instead.

Ah OK, so 4 big ones, and is the smaller one, by the screw-in stud for the spare, also removable? I don't want to try and pull it out if not.

Smart that they worked out how to drain the spare wheel well after wading but not protect the BeCM

Are you sure that you want to perform this action? This action is irreversible.
