I replaced the reverse light switch on my LT77 only last weekend, so this may help:
Old and new switch:  Click image to enlarge Switch installed on rear of selector block, accessed through middle seatbox panel: Click image to enlarge The switch fitted to mine is the later version, which is quite expensive, although I found somebody on eBay with some new-old stock so only paid about £20. There is an earlier, and much cheaper version, but it requires a separate locking nut that doesn't generally come with the switch.

Im sure when I was on eurocarpars the other day that if you put in your reg and look at a category something like 'switches' for the vehicle they sell and locally (to me at least) stock the reverse and brake light screw in switches and they were around £8

That'll be the older version, PRC2911, that looks like this:
They can be had for under a fiver on eBay but, as I said, need a locking nut. They are marginally more tricky to set up.

I've just had a look at the parts manual and it shows a blanking screw next to the filler plug, on the gearbox remote, it's very vague but a search of the part number shows it to be a 3/8 unc bolt... I suspect that's the one you're look for
Click image to enlarge Item 27 is the blanking screw (bolt) and 28 is described as a filler plug for the LT77 Looking at LandRoverAnorak's picture you can see where the filler plug should be in the earlier version of the LT77 RRC 2.4 TD... it's either a stretched 90 or shrunken 110!!

I expect the switch has the same thread as the Mini one which has 3/8" UNC.

 How much
I paid less than a fiver for an RRC reverse switch on the bay of fleas... delivered.. Although I must admit it didn't come with the locking nut which is critical to the set up... and the Range Rover switch is 6.3mm (1/4") spade terminals. RRC 2.4 TD... it's either a stretched 90 or shrunken 110!! ML 270CDI |

That Mini one isn't the correct switch but the lock nut is useful if you want to use PRC2911 shown above. Darren

I'm sure that I've got a 3/8 unc nut in the shed if it's any help! RRC 2.4 TD... it's either a stretched 90 or shrunken 110!!

I'd expect it still fits, although you'd have to cut off the bullets and put spade connectors on it. |

It's a half nut, but any decent fixings supplier should be able to get them. |

Yes I know it's a half nut, I changed my switch last week! But to be honest it was a pita to get the spanner on the half nut.. there is very little room for error, and as there is over half the thread exposed, a full nut will fit easily, and give you a bit more to aim at!
FYI I am only reporting my experiences changing the switch on an RRC, which from what I can tell has a different remote on the box, and is a bit more key hole surgery having removed the centre console.. the Defender looks really accessible RRC 2.4 TD... it's either a stretched 90 or shrunken 110!!

It might do, but why faff around when the correct one is available and cheaper? Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |
