Here's a breakdown of the common spanner sizes for Land Rover Defender engine work:

  1. 10mm: This size is commonly used for smaller bolts and nuts, such as those found on engine covers, brackets, and accessories.

  2. 13mm: Often used for mid-sized bolts and nuts, such as those securing engine components like alternators, starters, and some exhaust system parts.

  3. 15mm: Commonly used for larger bolts and nuts, including those found on engine mounts, exhaust system components, and some chassis fittings.

  4. 17mm: Typically used for larger bolts and nuts, such as those found on suspension components, steering linkages, and some engine mounts.

  5. 19mm: Commonly used for larger bolts and nuts, such as those securing wheels, hub assemblies, and some chassis components.

  6. 22mm: Used for larger bolts and nuts, such as those found on some suspension and chassis components, as well as some larger engine fittings.

Having these spanner sizes available in your toolkit will cover a wide range of fasteners commonly encountered during Land Rover Defender engine work. However, it's always a good idea to double-check the specific sizes needed for your particular vehicle and any components you're working on.
