topless matt:
My 1996 defender 300tdi steering box has failed  :evil:     Any idea how to tell weather it is a 3 4 or 6 bolt model  :doh:?

Disco-Ron:
Pretty sure it'll look like this link....

as far as i'm aware, the number of bolts is referring to how many bolts hold the 'top' on...... ie, the one in the link is a four bolt, as in... four bolts on the top... i'm pretty sure that by 96 they were all 4 bolt......

Yep, that's correct.

Range Rover Blues:
3 bolt are imperial and the strongest.

4 bolt and 6 bolt are metric, I've only ever seen 6 bolt on Defenders.
