Defender Spare Wheel Carriers Are INSANELY Expensive!
My Land Rover Defender 110 needs a new Spare Wheel carrier after the original one was nicked! I searched online for a replacement and found myself completely blown away by the insane prices of aftermarket Wheel Carriers. So I thought, "How bad could the cheapest one be?"

    That looks great! The instructions on most of these carriers leave a lot to be desired, it is only after you have fitted them you find how it should have been attached, I found the worst part was lifting the wheel into place once you have fitted the carrier, but it does take the weight off the door, like most powder coated things they do go very dull after a while in the sun, not sure powder coating is the best finish for use outside, I sprayed mine (a Mantec) with satin aerosol. Stay safe! Chris B.

    Hey fella good job struggling through with it. I had a Brit part one on my old 90 high was fine. I felt like the nut were either side of the bracket but that would need a nylock nut. I think it meant that it would stop putting inward pressure on the door but I don’t know how important that is.

    I got the BA132 swing away carrier from Craddock and fitted it today. It looks almost identical to this one, and was only £100, so I was either getting a bargain or absolute junk……. Sadly it was the latter! It came with no instructions, missing hardware from the fitting kit, and the nuts for holding the wheel on were the wrong thread pitch. The fit itself was terrible, needing quite a bit of filing, re drilling and bending of bracketry to make it fit …ish. What should have taken an hour or two ended up taking most of the day, and after all that it looks crap, and doesn’t sit parallel with the door. So for those considering this option….don’t! 😢

    I’m English working class and lived in Somerset West 40 miles out of Cape Town for 5 years. I loved it and still do. I often wondered why downtrodden British people don’t move there. I moved there with 90,000 pounds and bought a house on a quarter acre block with sea and mountain views for 35,000 pounds in a beautiful area and put the rest in the bank and was able to live off the interest., which was 18% at the time. The 90,000 pounds was enough to get me residency there, I don’t know what the situation is now that was in 1991. Maybe the black govt isn’t accepting whites.

      Thanks for the comment. Those Alu Cabs are sweet! I've since found out a few things on tuning the stock 300tdi without having to buy extra parts. You can just rotate your original boost pin so the aggressive angle faces forward and you can change the preload on the star wheel which sits below the boost pin spring. There are some other tricks I've found - maybe a whole new video. Anyway, thanks for watching and I hope you get it sorted and enjoy your 130 out in the wilds somewhere!
