You will also find a lot of fasteners on modern Landrovers (and on other vehicles, especially Jap ones) that are non-preferred sizes, which is a major pain in the whatnot. For example, there are several metric thread fasteners on a Defender with a 12mm AF head instead of a 13mm AF head.

On Defenders we have the additional thrill of still having Unified and British Standard thread forms. Your front axle, for example, has a bizarre combination of metric standard, UNF and BSF threads, all of which require different size spanners!


Further compounded when the fitting involves a nut and bolt & the bolt head is a different size to the nut Big Cry


Maybe JLR have thought about the DIYer or third world countries where they do not always have multiple spanners of the same size. Rolling with laughter 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

I used to have an old Peugeot that was littered with 5 sided bolt heads. That was an utter pain in the wheel nuts I can tell you!


Now that bit of info interests me. Wondering whether this is a potential for reasonably priced security fasteners Smile Idea


I managed to get hold of a set of sockets for them, pent (as in pentagon) sockets I believe they are called. Haven’t seen them anywhere other than on a Peugeot and I’ve been in engineering now for over 20 years, so a great security option. I can’t see any scrote coming to steal your landy armed with a set of pent sockets!

That’s the American way, common sense really, so you use two different sized spanner's. Not many kits have duplicates...
