Defender 110, 2013, 2014, 2015 differences

From about MY14..? they changed to spin-on oil filter which is way better for servicing.
It looks like at around the same time they ditched Denso injectors and started using an apparently superior Siemens/Continental injector.

Original fitment? Might have to get me some of those

I was a bit surprised to figure out after reading about all the issues with drive flanges that I didn't have any on the back. Might have been a bit of a "whats left in the parts bin" thing I suspect.

Did you buy your 130 brand new?
I've seen some aftermarket shafts with flanges that look like that that.
They look different to the ones used on 90's and old discoveries though. If they're a factory fitment they'd have to have been purpose made for the P38 diff.

I may have just answered my own question there. Are they from the P38 Rangies? They definitely wouldn't have had the Defender setup.

Yep, brand new, thats the way it turned up. November 2015 build, delivered in feb 2016 MY 2016

Obviously the new plip is designed for keyless entry....It has the secret compartment for the spare key...20180720_194701.jpg 20180720_194727.jpg

As mentioned already, all of the very last Defender models got the one piece axle and drive flange, not just the 90's.
You will find that to upgrade to the factory one piece axle/drive flange it will be cheaper to install a set of ashcroft or other branded aftermarket setup.

The "new" plip change was more likely due to other Land Rovers using the same unit, rather than making it something more clever for a Defender.

Yes was a there abouts year change rather than a change from the 2.4lt to 2.2lt. More likely a whatever they were supplied from Ford, as some 2.2lt have the cartridge style while others have the spin on.

Again I doubt the change from Denso to Siemens injectors was a because of quality issues, more likely the later were supplied at a better price or better supply.
