That is the bellhousing drain hole, prior to any jaunt off road / through water you are ment to for the "wade plug" in here to prevent it filling with crap. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

Just the wading plug hole, nothing to worry about.
Also used for timing the engine when required. Otherwise all looks quite clean and ordinary Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197 Self confessed mileage hunter  |

thanks, all. Do people actually bother with wading plugs, or not? if so, where to get one (or two) from?
cheers.  |

I have lost both of mine
They did use to see regular use when I was doing much more regular and deep off road work but in the last year I have not needed them once. Worth getting a pair to keep in your dash in case you need to wade or be in mud that deep. I wouldn't recommend running for long periods with them in as they are useful for letting you know when your seals are leaking and needing replacement.

yes they are worth bothering with if you in mud/water alot, especially the timing belt on.
better to fit when needed them remove to allow anything to drain out when they are not fitted. Cheers James 110 2012 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

One in the bell housing, one in the bottom of the timing belt case
