Frequently asked questions

What is the NRC8560 hand throttle cable for?
The NRC8560 hand throttle cable is the secondary throttle control on the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006), worked by a hand lever rather than the accelerator pedal. It holds the throttle at a chosen opening to keep engine speed steady, typically for fast idle and auxiliary-drive use.
Where is the hand throttle cable fitted on a Defender?
The hand throttle cable connects the hand control lever, usually at the dash, to the throttle linkage through the bulkhead on the Land Rover Defender. Pulling the lever sets a fixed throttle opening, letting the engine run at a steady speed without the foot pedal.
What are the signs this hand throttle cable needs replacing?
A hand throttle cable usually needs replacing when it sticks, frays, or no longer holds the set engine speed. The inner cable can stretch or seize inside the outer sleeve over time. If the hand throttle creeps back or feels stiff, the NRC8560 cable is typically the fix.
Will the NRC8560 fit my Defender?
The NRC8560 hand throttle cable fits the Land Rover Defender from 1987 to 2006. Hand throttle fitment typically varies with engine and original specification, so compare the cable length, routing, and end fittings with your old part before ordering to confirm the match.
