United Kingdom 1995 Defender 110 300 Tdi CSW Epsom Green
Handbrake Cable
It's been a while since I have been on but I still have the beast and until today she has been going well.

To be fair she is still running well as long as I don't need to start on or park on a hill.

What is the consensus of opinion regarding handbrake cables and whether or not to go Original or pattern part? 1995 300 Tdi Epsom Green- Slowly Turning into Keswick Green - It's a keeper.

Original, the pattern cable I fitted needed replacing within a few months. It had stretched so much it was pretty much useless. It is not a Defender, it is a One_Ten

12 months ago I replaced the handbrake cable on my 2004 TD5 110 Defender. Replacement I used was a Bearmach. Absolutely fine so far.

Cheers,

Lionel

I replaced mine with an britpart item as I needed it quickly about 2 years ago and it’s been fine. (Touch wood)
