Protect the Defender that carries everything for the trip

Your long-wheelbase Defender can carry the equipment for a great trip away. This Almont guard helps you look after its gearbox and transfer case, with 8 mm certified duralumin beneath the 130 and 147 applications shown here. The 90 and 110 use a separate reference.

SKU: PDLR110B8

The guard for the listed 130 and 147 applications

At 12.5 kg, this HeavyDuty plate gives the transmission a substantial barrier for rocky tracks and uneven crossings. The supported engine and body combinations are listed together so you can match the right Defender, rather than choosing from wheelbase alone.

Why we recommend Almont

This is certified AW5083 H111 duralumin: a high-strength aluminium alloy that keeps material weight below steel of the same size and thickness. You get a substantial barrier beneath the vehicle, and a scratch in the plate does not turn into red rust. It is still worth keeping the alloy and the separate steel mounting hardware clean, especially after winter salt or muddy trips.

Almont has specialised in vehicle protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Its protection is designed and manufactured in Spain. You are choosing specialist underbody protection for the parts of your vehicle that have to face the rough ground first.

Fitting

Use the listed 130 / 147 engine application with original chassis, axle, transmission and stabiliser mounting supports.

Uses the vehicle's original holes and threads with the supplied mounting supports and fixings. Follow the fitting instructions and check clearances on your vehicle.

Designed for the original chassis, axle, suspension-stay, transmission and stabiliser mounting arrangements. Raised suspension is compatible when those original supports are retained. Body lifts, differential-drop kits and altered mounting supports are incompatible.

Matching protection

A 90 or 110 needs the separate 90 / 110 TD5 / TD4 transmission guard. We also sell the matching classic Defender front guard separately; match its exact body and engine application.

Looking after your protection

Pressure wash the protection at least once a year, or two or three times a year if you regularly drive in mud or road salt. Check bolt tightness annually and follow the fitting instructions when refitting a plate after maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the 90 / 110 plate?

No. This reference covers the listed 130 and 147 TD5 / TD4 applications; 90 and 110 models have a separate guard.

Can I use it with a suspension lift?

Raised suspension is compatible when the original mounting supports remain. Body lifts, diff-drop kits and altered chassis, transmission or stabiliser supports are incompatible.

What is included?

The protection plate, matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, certificate and instruction manual, and Almont sticker. Other guards linked on this page are separate purchases.

Will the plate rust if I scrape it?

The duralumin plate will not form red rust when scratched. Wash off mud and road salt to help prevent other corrosion and to look after the separate steel brackets and fixings.

What does the warranty cover?

Almont provides three years of cover against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
