Hi, I recently bought an n reg 300tdi disco 1 and have noticed a few electrical anomalies. I'm not sure what the previous owner did to cause this. I have spotted a lot of wax oil inside the car under the carpets where welding has been done. Not sure if anything was disconnected an plugged in incorrectly. Actually I'm sure thats happened. Before I strip things back to investigate I thought it best I ask all of you knowledgable folk for some tips.

1) reverts light is activated by the rear window cut off switch... and subsequently the rear windows don't work at all
2) engine temp not displayed at all, swapped sensor and that's not the problem. Not sure if something simple is causing this. A broken wire maybe but from where?
3) interior light occasionally works

I know I have a lot of wires to play with and some of my issues won't be solvable via the forum but wanted to try my luck anyway. For all I know someone out there has experienced similar problems. Any advice would be most grateful. Thank you
 
Thank you. As I said I have literally just got my disco so thought I would try my luck. I intend to get a manual for the car. Was hoping there would be a simple fix to the problem that someone could let me know about.

Tis simple
1, your reversing light and your windows are either not earthed properly or shorted out.
2, Are you sure it's not the gauge thats faulty ie is there a voltage at the gauge?
3, Could be as simple as a loose bulb

Is that better :D
 
Checked the temp sensor, that's not faulty. Will trace the cables back to see if there is a faulty connection as per your suggestion. Thank you for your advice
