Engine under shield bolts Replacement

Hi All,

Last time I took the front under shield plate off to do some work I noticed some were missing, on testing the bolts on the main shield I could see that some are corroded in, rest are missing so as I expect to be under there quite regular, I’m going to spend an afternoon getting them out and replacing them.

Rimmer brothers quote £3.20 per bolt, and there’s around 16 needed, so that seems a little high to me for a few bolts, anyone know if there’s a cheaper source?

Alternatively, looks like they’re mostly 25mm M10 bolts, plus a couple of longer M10s anything wrong with using standard stainless steel bolts instead with shakeproof washers?

Cheers 2008 HSE Stornoway Grey

Hi

Must admit I replaced all mine with stainless steel flanged bolts and washers, used the company below

Hope that helps

Ur so welcome

Ah yes, no better way to spend a day off under the landy in the cold Laughing

Was the same with mine , used a 2 x foot breaker bar as they were all seized/ rounded off , those irwin sockets also helped a lot

Made the world of difference after replacing them with stainless

Hope it goes smoothly for u Thumbs Up

This is something I too want to do. The eBay link to Kay Fasteners just bounces around in eBay for some odd reason - are the bolts m8 or m10? I assume they are 25mm length...

There’s 10 M10x25mm and 2 M10x65mm. The 65mm apparently have spacers but have ordered the 25mm so I put it back on and will take a look at the longer one so once their off.

Rimmerbrothers lay out what are required

And Britcar include the measurements if you search by part number

Good to hear ur all sorted

Plus 1, ref the Brit car website , as indeed also use that one when the LRcat parts catalogue don’t specify the size

Think they’ve improved the LR new parts catalogue link showing many of the sizes at the end of the part numbers

Plus almost forgot , I replaced the M10 spire clips as some were either rusted or missing

Yup, ordered a few spire bolts also, can guarantee some of them will be missing or break. 2008 HSE Stornoway Grey
