Hi, anybody know if the Screws for the Air Filter box cover are available separately? Part #? Philips head, and at least 2 of mine have rusted away - becoming more difficult to remove them. I have done a quick search online and don't see any info. I'll keep digging. Generic would be fine, but I don't have time to run to the store.
Every diagram I have looked at, shows the air box as an assembly with the only sub-serviceable parts is the Air Flow Meter and Air Filter. So those two screws will cost you about $175 new.
There is no metal inserts for those, they are just course thread into plastic. So all I did was pick up some thicker stainless 8mm corse thread screws then re-drill the holes to ensure the new screws would not crack any plastic. Easy fix, never will rust again.

I have cut a small tail from from zip ties and crammed in there then screwed them in.
I'm a bit late answering the OP but I found these and they look like a match to the air box screws. https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk/ad...m-583630-p.asp
I ordered some to replace the missing ones on my newly acquired 2013 LR4
I can confirm that these are a direct replacement for the air box on a 2013 LR4 w/ 5.0
The shipping cost was huge but I got them in a few days from the UK

£35 for shipping a few screws to Canada. I don't know why they can't stick a few screws in an envelope and post it . I tried Atlantic British and searched web for North America supplier and surprisingly nothing appears to be available Seems like an adaptation is in order. Very frustrating.
I also had this problem and all the cats I looked at claimed that one can only get the air box as a full set. The screws are originally from the JAGUAR side of the business and available for it for a nominal cost https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic...217-screw.html.
Another part which is similar is the VVT solenoid grommet, AJ82856, which also doesn’t “exist” for the LR3 separately but is available if you again figure out it’s the same as on a jaaaaag engine.
If you go and surf screws, bolts, etc. you sometimes end up with part numbers that were originally assigned for model of Rover (the brand).

Based on the drawing it doesn't like this would work. The fastener looks quite different. Did you actually try this for yourself?
