Frequently asked questions

What is the rear cylinder head blanking plug for?

The blanking plug seals the rear coolant gallery opening in the cylinder head on Land Rover 4-cylinder engines. The head casting has a machined coolant passage at the rear face that this metric plug closes off, keeping the cooling circuit sealed.

When does this blanking plug need replacing?

Replace the blanking plug if it corrodes, weeps, or gets disturbed during a cylinder head overhaul. Once the seal is compromised, coolant can escape from the head casting, so it's worth renewing while the head is off.

Which engines and models use this blanking plug?

It fits the Land Rover Defender (1986-2006) and Series II, IIA and III with the 4-cylinder petrol and non-Tdi diesel engines. The plug measures approximately 16mm. Confirm the rear head location against your engine before ordering.
