Land Rover Part Number: FQP500040 - Door Lock Control Link
FQP500040 is a Door Lock Control Link. Fitted inside the rear side door inner panel, this link connects the internal lock control (handle or actuator) to the rear side door latch on 110 and 130 wheelbase Defender models. It converts operator input into the mechanical action that releases or secures the latch; correct alignment and secure attachment to the actuator and latch rod are required for reliable locking and unlocking. Wear or damage to the link can cause loose or inconsistent operation or prevent the latch from fully engaging or releasing, and replacement restores the direct mechanical connection and normal door locking function.
