Default Missing Cover in the Engine Bay Area

I have a 2001 Jaguar Coupe 4.0L engine and it appears I may be missing a cover in the engine bay. In the attached drawing it is No. 1. On my MY is there supposed to be a cover inside the engine bay on the drivers side that covers the headlamp assy access and covers the braking system?

I have also attached a picture of my car showing the area where I think the cover should go. I have the headlamp assy access cardboard panel piece No 2 on the passenger side, just not one the on the drivers side.

Thank you for your help.

Ok so that is the correct cover. When I purchased the car several years ago from the PO it never had a cover. I checked with my local dealer and was told they don't make them any longer.

Does anyone know of a 2nd hand source I could contact about supplying this cover?

You could try your local breakers yards, you might get lucky.

The Cover in question is a Cover over the Antilock Brake unit. It was discontinued before MY 2000.

Thank you Paul, that explains why so many Jaguars don't seem to have this cover. The only time I have seen the cover in place was in a MY 1999.

I will stop looking since none are available and it never was included in my MY.
