Why they never fitted the D2 with them who knows. Never knew the Defender had them till I had a close look round one, saw it and thought "thats gotta fit mine".........ordered one and hey presto :)

Land Rover will wonder why there is a sudden surge in requirements for said part :D

You could just get rid of the plug all together (which is what LR did with the D2a)

Funny you should say that, they have sold another 4 already !!! :D

The plastic plug can still break, ours did on a bitumen road - no rocks!

on of the first thinges we did when getting back to town was to look at a 110 Puma and there is a guard there, have just learnt that the TD5 defer has one and so will investigate that.

the Disco fund is a bit short at the moment how ever, maybe in a few months

an idea that I had to protect it was to use and old bit of innter tube of similar size and put that around it with some zip ties.

I like the stubby holder idea as well, will probably do that in the short term

that plasitc plug is around $14 and a new filter $115 :eek:
Repco had a sale on the weekend, I got a Ryco for $86 or there abouts, the normal price is $113

Hay Ewe

just got one off adrian at toorak tractor $20,less than 20 mins to fit it. just have to drill out mounting holes in back plate.fits a treat.thanks for the info

Not mine.

Same here .... loom's been tucked up above the chassis rail. Plastic connector plug is still in the bottom of the fuel filter, it's just not connected to anything.
