LFB500050 8566L Crankshaft Spigot Bush Td5 Defender Series

LFB500050 is the crankshaft spigot bush, the small plain bush that seats in the spigot at the rear of the crankshaft, behind the flywheel. It is the current Land Rover number for this bush, it replaces 8566L, and it covers four cylinder petrol/gas and diesel engines through the 300Tdi along with the five cylinder Td5, which is why the same small part turns up on everything from a Series III to a late Td5 Defender.

Because it sits exactly where the engine and the gearbox meet, nobody goes after this bush on its own. It is a clutch job part. With the gearbox already out and the clutch in pieces, the spigot bush is cheap enough and buried deep enough that replacing it while everything is apart is simply good practice, and leaving a worn one in place means the whole job has to come apart again to reach it.

This listing is for one bush. If you want a spare on the shelf, or you are working through more than one Rover, the same bush is also stocked as a set of five under LFB500050SET5.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does LFB500050 replace?

It is the current Land Rover part number for the crankshaft spigot bush and it replaces 8566L. The older Land Rover numbers in the same chain are GLR7081, 8566, 234534 and 0485482, so if your manual or an old parts book shows one of those, this is the number that supersedes it.

Will this fit a V8?

No. This bush covers the four cylinder petrol/gas and diesel engines through the 300Tdi, the 2.6 liter six cylinder petrol/gas Series engine, and the five cylinder Td5. The V8 uses a different spigot bush, part number 549911, so confirm which engine you have before ordering.

How many bushes do I get?

One. The same part is also sold as a set of five under LFB500050SET5 if you would rather keep spares on hand.
