Are we talking 03-04 lower drip pan with the removable oil filter access panel?
Back when 03-04's were new sure I had both my 03 D2 drip pans. Then the little round access panel either fell out or broke, and then yep I ripped em clean off after they got brittle from the heat or broke.
None of my 99-02's have em and I find it much easier to work on vs an 03-04 that do.
I love it when I come across an 03-04 D2 owner and they tell me how their rover's never leak. I look under it and see the drip pan and just smile as they're totally clueless to their LR wearing an adult diaper.

That's interesting; didn't know that. Still, I haven't had any issues since removing mine.

Agree. My lower cover is installed as of yesterday and ScanGauge shows a few degrees cooler temps across the board. I can see some minor annoyance when changing the oil filter in the future but I plan to leave my cover installed.
