Hello all,
Just a bit of back story. I’ve just had a new chassis put on my defender as well as a few other bits, by engineering students. However they haven’t managed to get it finished in term time so I’ve got it back home with a few jobs left to do to it ( a lot of questions very few answers)
Jobs left to do are
- exhaust gasket
- bleed brakes
-re fit trim and have so holes to fill inside
- light wiring

Which I can do all mostly myself, however I keep finding the odd questionable pipe that hasn’t got a bracket so I was just wonder how you all fit yours , cheers

I used some rubber lined p clips to fix mine when I rebuilt my 90 {as I had loads kicking about). As said above fix it on the back of xmember

From memory, your old chassis would of had rivnuts which the power steering pipe clips would have bolted to. Your new chassis has probably got the holes but with no rivnuts, they need fitting after galving as galving generally wreaks them. The holes are probably hex shaped. You won't have much room there now with it all built up to get a rivnut tool in but you can do it with nuts and bolts but use aluminium rivnuts for ease.
 
Thankyou can anyone tell me what these wires do?

Possibly is , the only engine work I know about on it is an egr delete but surely that would remove wires not add them, one of them does come from the alternator tho
 
I don’t have an egr since I’ve owned it and no engine cover to take off?

Ye, sorry, the photos clearly show it's not there ......
Is there a connector, plastic thingy in between the inlet maifold and the rocker cover, about hlf way along ?
That's the EGR temp sensor which went to the other connector.

@marjon and @Flossie have the other one sussed, I think it's the handbrake indicator ...
