Oil sump cover plastic retaining screws

Hi,was wondering if anyone can help. I serviced my 2014 SD4 at weekend and damaged the three plastic retaining screws that hold the oil sumps fibre insulation cover in place. When I went to my local Landrover dealer there parts diagram doesn't even show the cover!
Was wondering if anyone has had this issue and found a source of these screws.

Why did you have to remove that? My drain plug is accessible by just taking the metal under tray off. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Absolutely, but I managed to soak cover whilst draining because of vehicle being on ramps at front so needed to remove to wash properly.
I've found the part number of the screws. They are LR005896. Haven't tried Landrover but available at Vehicle Clips. co.uk.

I think I'd be inclined to leave it off. I can't imagine it's making a massive difference in noise levels? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

You’re right,I’ve been running around for last few days without it and there is no discernible noise increase. I personally think it’s there to keep engine oil warm for as long as possible between start ups.
