The flexible connector oval in shape that connects the air box to the fender on my 2004 Discovery is deteriorating. I cant seem to find them sold as an individual part. Can anyone tell me where to purchase one or have a suggestion on making a replacement.

 

check with Paul Grant. It'll be used but it'll also be available & cheap

 

Thank you for the response can you tell me how to get in touch with Paul Grant ?

I have the same issue--just noticed it this weekend. My fix was going to be gorilla tape but, if you don't mind, please post what you find out.

 

I was in the same boat and the only options I had were go to a pull a part n try to get lucky, drop almost $400 from British parts of Utah on a new one or do a little redneck engineering. I got a can of black flex seal (I used the rustoleum brand) taped off the other part of it and sealed it up real well. Seems to work fine for me. I saw somebody posted they used a oil container. I will never get that high in water but better safe than sorry.

 

That was exactly what I had considered doing to fix mine as well in regards to the flex seal. Does it look pretty decent? Probably try it myself now..

 

I did this a couple years back and its still holding up:

 

You can actually remove the flexible part from the entire assembly. I did that and sprayed it with clear flex seal and seems to have sealed it well. I'm gonna get the quart can in black from Walmart and brush it real good to make it looks better since it was starting to deteriorate and you could see the wire. Hopefully make it more pleasing to the eye. It won't be for a week or two till I do it. Going crazy at work and trying to keep the wife happy for Christmas without getting myself on the naughty list
