View Full Version : Generic alternative for Defender 110 cable clip AFU1090L

Hello All,

Has anyone come across a generic and widely available 8 mm hole cable clip that secures the wires across the rear crossmember on a Defender 110? I can only find genuine parts in the UK that sell with currency conversion $12 AUD for a pack of 10 with a postage charge of $21 AUD.

Surely there must be a generic clone clip available locally!

If you do know of an Australian supplier for a clone of Part Number: AFU1090L could you please let me know. A part made out of plastic back in January 1993 has already seen a lot of sun and they have become very brittle. Look at them sideways and they break.

Postscript: I found some cable clips that look very similar on eBay however, its says that it is for 10 different Honda vehicle models - Not Land Rovers. At the cost of $15 Australian for a pack of 10 and free postage. If they are the correct part then straight off that is $21 AUD saved in postage and if it is the wrong part I have only lost $3 more than the UK parts would have cost me.

Meh - Let's throw the dice and keep our fingers crossed. Yes - there is a high stakes gambler pressing some keyboard keys right now. I will let you know how I go. The order should arrive here in early June.

Kind regards
Lionel

Have a look on this page (https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-automotive-cable-clip-.html'spm=a2g0o.productlist.search.0) Lionel. I've bought low value items like these many times from this mob without any trouble, although delivery will take a couple of weeks. Select an item with free freight if possible.
Don.

Hello Don,

Thank you. I took a squiz and I found some that looked similar. I will take another look at the page you linked me to for future needs.

What is the bet I will walk into a local car parts store and they will be sitting there on the shelf. The only disadvantage of after hours shopping online. Having to wait for items to be delivered. Oh well petrol costs money too while driving to and from the store. Now all I will have to do is walk to and from the mailbox. That should make Greta Thunberg happy. Just don't let her know that the parts are for a 'how dare you! diesel sucking Land Rover.

Kind regards
Lionel

Hello Circle the Wagons,

Thank you for going above and beyond. I appreciate it. Then for the UK one add postage at an extortionate rate. I ordered some from an Australian supplier and they arrived home within 3 days. The look the same as the ones fitted to my Defender 110.

Kind regards
Lionel
