Handbrake cable from the handbrake actuation assembly, linking the handbrake lever to the transmission brake mounted on the transfer box rear output.

Pulling the lever draws the inner cable, which rotates the expander lever on the transmission brake backplate and forces the shoes outward against the drum. The outer sheath is anchored at both ends so that lever travel is converted into shoe movement rather than lost in the run. A stretched inner cable or a seized sheath shows up as excessive lever travel and a parking brake that will not hold on a gradient.

Frequently asked questions

What is the NTC3480 handbrake cable used for?
The NTC3480 is a handbrake cable for the Land Rover Defender, 1986 to 2006. It connects the handbrake lever to the transmission-mounted drum brake, applying the parking brake on the rear driveline.
Does this cable fit my Defender?
This cable fits the Defender up to VIN (T)20D290863E. Later Defenders use a different handbrake cable, so confirm your VIN before ordering to get the correct length and end fittings.
Why do handbrake cables need replacing?
Handbrake cables typically fail through stretching, corrosion, or a seized inner cable, which is common on Defenders used off-road. Signs include a handbrake that won't hold or a lever that pulls up too far. A stretched cable makes the parking brake unsafe.
