Which Defenders does this torsion bar fit?
This torsion bar fits the Land Rover Defender rear end door, across 1987 to 2006 and the 2007 to 2016 build on 90 and 110 Hard Top and Station Wagon from VIN (V)7A000001. Check your VIN for the later build split.
What's the difference between MXC1790 and MXC1791?
MXC1791 is the listed alternative torsion bar to the MXC1790. The two typically differ by hand or by fitted position on the door check, so confirm which one your rear door mechanism uses rather than assuming they're interchangeable.
