Door Hinge Bolts
I've searched past posts but cannot find the answer to this simple question. The M8 countersunk setscrews that secure the hinge to the front doors - are they secured by captive nuts? Or will I have to remove the door cards to put a the spanner on the nuts?

I think that depends on model and year, my front doors are but rear doors not!

Not sure then, mine is an 11 plate 110xs. I'm sure someone will be able to tell you..

The two bolts that go into the door on each hinge need a 13mm spanner on the back but the ones in the a/b posts have captive nuts. Ray

Hello discomog

I don't think the Defender has changed in this area for some time now
on my MY 2011 (2.4 Puma)

Front Door Hinge M8 Screws are retained by...

Captive Nuts Bulkhead Side... Thumbs Up (photo below is of the JLR OEM Captive Nuts
but to answer your question Loose Nuts (will need Spanner) Door Card Side... Sad
Although you can get on these without fully removing the Door Card...Just

You should be able to get a slim spanner in from the side without removing the door card. Jeff

Thanks Jeffersj and others for info. I've had a look (should have done it before!) and have now found a slim open ended spanner that will fit without removing door cards. Cheers.
