topless matt:
Cheers for all the help fellas.
Will pop the bonnet when i get round to it, bit busy atm.
Just wondered if anyobe kew off hand.
Oh well, just have to keep filling it up with oil then  :oops:

Tommo:
my 90 had a 6 bolt but i thought all later defenders had the 4 bolt?

V8MoneyPit:
I believe the 3 bolt was only used on 90's and 110's prior to the 'Defender' name being used. So it should be one of the metric ones.

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

Best check then Matt.......  it seems i've learnt something eh...!!  mind you, paddocks have 4 bolts listed as well as 3's for defenders...... so defo worth popping the bonnet!!!

Sorry, I meant I hadn't seen the 6 bolt anywhere other than Defender, rather than Defenders has nothing but 6 bolt.

I think the earlier One Ten and Ninety may have used the 3 bolt, RRC started to go Metric around the time it went EFi, most of the suspension arms were uprated or had heavier metric threads.  Probably has more to do with how much develoment cash was available than anything else :roll:

AFAIK the 4 bolt became the only on left in production, therefore the default fitment to all LR products.  Anyone know if the 6 bolt had a different ratio?
