Genuine Part
Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Handbrake Operating Lever from the parking brake control assembly. The lever is the driver-operated arm that applies the transmission brake through the parking brake cable.

Pulling the lever draws the inner cable, which rotates the operating arm at the transmission brake backplate and expands the shoes against the drum mounted on the transfer box output. A ratchet and pawl inside the lever hold the applied position until the release button is pressed.

Left-hand drive applications. A worn ratchet or an elongated pivot lets the lever creep down under load, and is a common cause of a parking brake that will not hold on a gradient even after the shoes and cable have been adjusted correctly.
Vehicle Model Land Rover Defender up to 2016
Fitment Notes DEFENDER 2007-2016 (Puma) — Parking/handbrake operating lever, LHD only. From VIN 7A000001, break to VIN FA999999.

Frequently asked questions

What is the SNC500070LR handbrake operating lever for?
The SNC500070LR is the parking brake operating lever for the Land Rover Defender (2007-2016 Puma), left-hand drive only. It's the Genuine lever that transfers handbrake cable movement to apply the transmission parking brake.
Does this handbrake lever fit right-hand drive Defenders?
No, the SNC500070LR is for left-hand drive Defenders only. Right-hand drive Puma Defenders use a different operating lever, so confirm your vehicle is LHD before ordering to avoid a wrong fit.
How do I confirm this lever fits my Defender?
This lever fits the Puma Defender built from VIN 7A000001 with a break to VIN FA999999, left-hand drive only. Check your VIN against that range, since it covers the 2007 to 2016 Puma models and not earlier or later Defenders.
