Land Rover Part Number: AHU710010 - Bonnet Hinge Assembly
AHU710010 is a bonnet hinge assembly that secures the bonnet to the vehicle body and forms the pivot for opening and closing. Fitted to Defender models, the assembly mounts the bonnet at the hinge points and controls bonnet articulation to keep the bonnet aligned with surrounding body panels. Supplied as an individual left- or right-hand hinge, the part allows replacement of a single side without requiring a matched pair; on vehicles exposed to moisture or heavy use, hinge components can corrode or wear and affect alignment, in which case replacing the assembly restores correct pivoting and contact with the bonnet catches. Confirm the part number and vehicle details before ordering to match the correct hinge orientation and mounting configuration for the Defender.

Frequently Asked Questions
AHU710010 is a replacement hinge assembly for the Defender bonnet that provides the pivot and mounting points for opening and closing. It is supplied for left- or right-hand fitment so a single damaged hinge can be replaced independently; corrosion, wear or impact damage to the hinge can cause misalignment or stiff operation, and fitting a new assembly restores correct articulation and contact with the bonnet catches.
