Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the BC3401, ensure the vehicle is lifted safely on jack stands and the parking brake is fully released. Locate the center-fitting housing and disconnect the old cable from the handbrake lever mechanism and the wheel assemblies. Route the new cable carefully, ensuring there are no sharp bends or kinks that could cause friction.
Compatibility: This part replaces OEM numbers SPB000160 and SPB500200. Always verify your specific Land Rover Defender VIN or chassis number before installation.
Care: Regularly inspect the cable boot for cracks or tears to prevent moisture and road debris from entering the sheath. Keep the cable junctions clean and periodically check the adjustment nuts to maintain proper lever travel.
