In a quest to fit footwell lights on my new (to me) 2014 Freelander, I have just noticed that the passenger fuse box does not have a cover, there are various slots and grooves around it as if it should have one and it looks at risk of being kicked.

appears to show that there is no cover and you just pop off the glove box to get to it. Also that the 2013 onward cars are different to the 2007-2012 cars.

I would post in the Duckworth thread a new girl Sophie I think will see if one is available for your car,give her the VIN number etc so she can get straight at it without posting for more info.

My 2014 doesn’t have a cover and it’s only ever been touched by the main dealer and me. 64 plate TD4 SE Santorini Black
2021 Mazda MX5 GT Sport Tech

Ok that's good information thanks. Difficult to tell if it's ever had one but it looks like a RHD version of that one I added to my first post would fit it.

I will contact Sophie @ Duckworths and ask.

Mine does not have a cover either, and don't see why you would need one, as the glovebox protects it.

Then they have forgot to put it back on.

^^^Most definitely!

I definitely have one on my 2014. Had it off the other day to replace a fuse. It should be there.

Why did you take the glove compartment to bits ????
The bulb holders are accessed from under the glove compartment.

I thought you mean't behind the glovebox.....

Mine does have a plastic cover at floor level, so it does look as though yours is missing.

There is a plastic cover. There is a diagram of it in the owner manual. Jules

I didn't take anything to bits, I was just looking up from the passenger footwell and was surprised that all the fuses were exposed there.


It appears that there should be a cover there and it is part number LR041126. Looks like this





There was one on ebay in December but it's been sold. So now to try finding one. Thanks for the comments helping me confirm whether it actually should be fitted or not.

That is the part, 14A003 in photo above.

Here are some pics of the passenger footwell from MY2013 XS for comparison. You can ser the plastic fusebox cover, and the footwell lamp bulb holder above. The bulb itself is a wedge type that just slots straight in if you've already got the holder and wiring fitted as I did. I've put LEDs in all my interior lamps to shed a bit more light...
