Question Bell housing Blanks?

First off i would like to thank everyone for their help so far. while under my Disco looking at other issues i noticed something on the bell housing where it mates to the engine. There are two approx. 1 1/2 inch holes, one on each side of the housing about half way up. They are not plugged with a blank or anything, are they supposed to be? Seems like alot of crud would get in there. I think they might be access to remove bolts. Thanks again, sorry for all the questions but i am new to Disco's.

Yes there are supposed to be plugged with rubber plugs.
They are for unbolting the torque converter.

I have been looking for these new rubber plugs as well. I called Atlantic British and the part guy I talked to knew what I was talking about, but he said they didn't carry them and I would have to order through the dealer. The problem is that I do not know that part number and the dealership parts guy is a dope and has no idea what im talking about. If you find the part # can you post it please.

The part guys at Land Rover of farmington Hills, MI have been pretty good, they will fax or Email you diagrams to find the number, you can give them a call to just get the part number.

Yes, ERR7229 is the correct part number. I tried to find the invoice when I bought mine years ago, then gave up and used Microcat to confirm the part#.

Not to hijack the thread but when i was cleaning my truck from some off road use i noticed i was missing one of these. I know i went through water that would've sumerged this area is there any damage that could've been done? How do i check if there is water in there or does it drain somewhere?

I threw those POS plugs away. I just couldn't get them re-installed. I knew I wanted the holes covered, so ended up cutting some thin gauge ally plate with tin-snips and stuck it over the holes with instant gasket.
