    Metric or Imperial?

    Hi, I am about to receive in September my new black 90 ordered back in April. I have been getting my accessories sorted but want to get my toolkit at the ready. Is the bolts, nuts and fittings on a MY15 Defender metric or imperial? Thanks.

    What Slunnie said !

    Seriously, most everything is metric except a few things such as the prop shaft bolts (3/8 UNF)

    Mainly just the front bumper to put on a new one, rear bumper for wheel bracket and high lift bracket, interior for seat rails. Nothing too mechanical, my skill doesn't run that far! Thanks for your help.

    A basic socket set should have both the metric and imperial sockets required to do the job.

    Familiarise yourself with identifying marks on bolt heads of both metric and imperial and that will help ease the pain

    There are a few torx bolt heads that are in the odd spot and a set of good quality torx bits is something I would keep handy.

    Do the six speed gear boxes have a filler/level plug that requires a torx bit to undo it, like the one in a R380 gearbox?

    Jdl i went through the same exercise recently for my new 110, (built on this Wed ).
    It would seem there is no Whitworth, which is a plus !

    After much deliberation i bought the Stanley 69 piece all metric kit from Super Cheap with also comes with a variety of torx, allen keys etc. And the Stanley fax max pliers set, (vise grip, monkey wrench, pliers) to round it out. Looks like i need to get a 3/8 UNF just as well.

    Prob more tools than i need, but if your up **** creek, its good to have a full set of paddles.
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    This is not a spanner or socket size

    Metrinch-tools - IF THIS CAN'T DO IT, NO TOOL CAN

    I bought a set many years ago, great for general occassional work and covers AF & Metric.

    From memory not expensive

    The mt82 gear box filler and drain is a hex socket on mine.

    There are plenty of male torx head bolts that need a torx socket as well as the torx bits for the female torx fasteners
