Land Rover Part Number: MTC5459 - Instrument Binnacle Cowl Panel
MTC5459 is an instrument binnacle cowl panel. Fitted to the instrument panel area of left-hand-drive Land Rover Defender models built up to 1998, this panel provides the finished cover above and around the instrument cluster where gauges and switches sit and aligns with the dash mounting points to locate and secure the binnacle assembly. This variant does not include an aperture for a factory-fitted burglar alarm LED, so it is suitable only for vehicles that were not fitted with that anti-theft option from the factory; confirm fitment against your V.I.N. (production cut-off to VIN WA159806) and ensure left-hand-drive orientation before installation.
Please note: This cover is for vehicles without burglar alarm and does NOT have the alarm LED aperture. Use the compatibility data below to confirm fitment against your V.I.N.

Frequently Asked Questions
MTC5459 forms the visible cover over the instrument binnacle on left-hand-drive Defender models up to 1998, providing the finished interior surface for gauges and switches and securing to the dash at the original mounting points. This specific variant omits the small LED aperture required by factory burglar alarm systems, so it is intended only for vehicles that did not have that alarm fitted.
