The SPB500200 is a direct entry type handbrake cable for the Land Rover Defender, responsible for mechanically engaging the rear brakes when the handbrake lever is applied. This cable transmits the mechanical force from the lever to the rear brake drums or discs, and a worn or stretched cable will result in reduced handbrake holding force, potential vehicle roll-away on gradients, and failure to meet MOT brake efficiency requirements. Correct replacement with the specified cable type is essential to restore full static braking performance. Key Features Direct entry type configuration - must be matched to the correct entry type for proper fitment Designed as a like-for-like replacement, retaining original cable routing and adjuster compatibility Manufactured to OEM specification for Defender handbrake systems from chassis number LA935630 When replacing, inspect the handbrake compensator, cable guides, and rear brake shoes or pads for wear, as these components affect cable adjustment and overall system performance Vehicle Fitment Fits Land Rover Defender from 1986 to 2006 (direct entry type, up to chassis LA935630) and Defender 2007 onwards from chassis LA935630.
