Had a look under the bonnet of the 2.2 yesterday It's a lot busier in there
The silly rear door handle with holes in it made me laugh - somebody must have been really bored one afternoon |

Mine doesn't seem to have one - is it somewhere hidden for us LHDs? Tell someone you love them today because life is short. But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

Not hidden at all. When you watch the engine from the driver side of the LH drive vehicle. it is a big bright red bracket located close to the bulkhead. If it is there, can't miss it. You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Took my 90 to Stratstones in Burnham last week.. The techie had a look see, and said, "Yup, it's f*$ked.." Took the keys, couriered a new hose in, swapped out the dud, took off the bracket and refilled the coolant.. All in about 4 hours.. And he also found leaking swivel seals, agreed to replace the headlight surrounds, front mudflaps and rear window... It went in today for the bits under warranty.. Pick it up in the morning... I'll shout loud if any work aint been done!!! ... ,-------, .. I [__][_]|__ .. I __ |"_|"__| .. "(o)====(o)" ^^_-^-_^-^_^^^^^--^^^^ PAUL G7ALW 14.200 USB 26FB458 / 27.275 SSB |

Just to say thanks for the tip. Checking the fluids in preperation for prospective weekends snow, I decided to remove the bracket. Despite tightening the bolts 2 months ago before I read this thread, one had worked loose enough that 2 secs finger tip work removed it. Needless to say I took the off this time!
This should be a bloomin recall notice surely? |

Heard a noise - looked under the bonnet and found a red bracket. New to all this so investigated this forum only to find out the recommendation is to remove bracket...........so being keen went straight out to investigate further. Touched red bracket and it fell off!!! OMG how lucky I investigated - Thanks peeps!!

Good job you did then or it could have been in someone's windscreen behind if it fell onto the road. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️

^^ Puma 2.2 rear door handle. It is the environmental guys in Solihull's solution to Defender weight saving. The Puma 2.4 has a solid door handle without holes.
But then those same Solihull environmentalists witth the Puma 2.2 added a rubber lead to the fuel cap. So by this they erased 50% of those weight savings again. eric You never actually own a Defender.
