Frequently asked questions

What does the ALR9555 bonnet release cable do?
The ALR9555 bonnet release cable connects the interior release lever to the bonnet lock on the Land Rover Defender. Pulling the cabin handle tensions the cable, disengaging the latch so the bonnet can be raised. It routes from the cabin handle to the front lock platform.
Which Defenders does this bonnet cable fit?
This bonnet release cable fits the Land Rover Defender (1986-2006) up to VIN TA977536, and from VIN TA977537 to WA159806 on the 4.0L V8 EFI petrol. Match your VIN, as the release cable routing changed across these Defender build ranges.
Why do Defender bonnet release cables fail?
Bonnet release cables on the Defender typically fail when the inner cable frays, stretches, or seizes in its outer sleeve, so the handle no longer releases the latch. A slack or floppy handle, or a bonnet that won't pop, is the usual sign the cable has gone.
