Hello I am new to Land Rover. I have a 2005 TD5 Defender. On cleaning I have noticed two drilled holes in the middle of front bumper about 12 inches apart. Any ideas what these are for?. Thanks
 
Could be to collect water or maybe there was a winch or some other furniture bolted on .
It might also have been drilled to jack with a HiLift .
Could stick twigs in for camoflage ;) .
 
It was parts of landrover weight loss programme for the fender, this pared with the chassis mean that when the landys engine loses a little bit of power over the years the weight loss programme compensates for this, they tried this with the disco too but some argue that the disco project was too keen
 
They are breather holes for keeping the bumper cool when the speed exceeds Mach 3!

Obvious innit?
 
what size are the holes dude?

Could be numberplate mountings or could be to lift with a hi-lift if there bigger.

Thing with the Disco project is they put the "weight loss" program in all the wrong places, i could understand it from the chassis, but, boot floor and cills are already fairly light.

A few had a special weight loss program on the sump... it worked well for weight loss, but, not for engine performance.
