Frequently asked questions

What is the FTC4738 flywheel bolt used for?
The FTC4738 secures the drive plate, or flywheel, to the rear flange of the Td5 crankshaft. Torqued to clamp the plate against the crankshaft, it carries the full engine torque through the joint. It's a genuine Land Rover fixing for the 2.5L Td5 five-cylinder turbo diesel.
Which Land Rovers does the FTC4738 bolt fit?
The FTC4738 fits the Defender (1987-2006) and Discovery 2 (1998-2004), both with the 2.5L Td5 turbo diesel. On automatic Discovery 2 cars it secures the drive plate to the crankshaft, and it's the genuine Land Rover crankshaft bolt for that joint.
Do the drive plate bolts need replacing every time?
These crankshaft bolts are commonly renewed whenever the drive plate is removed, since they're torqued to clamp the joint under high load and can stretch in service. Reusing them risks a loosened joint, so fitting fresh bolts with a new drive plate is the usual approach.
