On early Defenders fitted with the 2.5 NA or turbocharged diesel engine, the lock mechanism is integral to the ignition and anti-theft system; a worn or failed unit can result in the steering failing to lock, the key not turning, or difficulty releasing the column under load. Correct replacement ensures the lock barrel engages the column accurately and the ignition switch operates as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical steering column lock designed to OEM specification for the Defender platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with the original ignition switch and key barrel arrangement on pre-LA932971 vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement requiring no modification to the steering column housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen replacing, inspect the ignition switch and key barrel for wear, as these components are commonly replaced together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits Land Rover Defender (1986–2006) with 2.5 Diesel Naturally Aspirated and Turbocharged engines, up to VIN LA932971.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure about fitment?
