Frequently asked questions

What is the MTC1827 tailgate chain?

The MTC1827 is a tailgate chain for the Land Rover Defender 1987-2006 with a drop-down rear tailgate. It links the tailgate to the rear body, limiting how far the tailgate drops and holding it level so it can carry load.

How many tailgate chains are needed?

A drop-down tailgate typically uses one chain on each side, so two are usually needed to support it evenly. This listing covers the chain itself; check whether you're replacing one side or both before ordering.

Where does the tailgate chain attach?

The chain attaches between the rear tailgate and the rear body, part of the rear body tailgate assembly on the Defender. It takes the load when the tailgate is lowered and stops it dropping past horizontal.

How do I confirm this fits my Defender?

This fits the Land Rover Defender 1987-2006 with the traditional drop-down rear tailgate. Confirm your vehicle has the chain-supported tailgate of that era rather than a later cable or strap design before ordering.
