2002 Defender 110 Td5 DCPU Keswick Green

I fitted one to a rear door spare wheel carrier I modified to fit in the load bed of our double cab.

A nice piece of kit

Thanks for the rapid responses, seems there may be a similar product in the pipeline from Nakatanenga at some point. My need is now however

There seems to be an open point as to whether the lock I showed would fit a 2002> truck (with the slightly different wheel stud design. As far as I can see it should be fine but would welcome any experience

1996 Defender 110 300 Tdi HCPU Auto Keswick Green

Had mine fitted for a few months (2010 defender) and the spare wheel is still there so it must be doing its job

2014 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Corris Grey

Without meaning to sound negative......

In my (limited) experience you need to be careful with those cheap FortXlocks padlocks (sold on eBay etc). Although they are cheap they corrode badly. Water gets inside the mechanism and they will cease. I made the mistake of fitting three (matched) locks exactly as per your photo to a shipping container and after only 2 months they took a huge amount of effort to remove after the mechanism ceased on the two exposed locks.

Perhaps they'll be OK if you oil/WD-40 very regularly. But I wouldn’t want to be cutting one off next to my alloy wheel!

As I say only my experience.

I'll be packing the lock with grease / WD40 then. Thanks for the warning
