Process of elimination...

Gooday chaps and chapettes! I was wondering what should be my first port of call should be if my rear electrics have failed, fuses? Last night I went for a short drive and on my return I was being flashed as my rear lights had all failed except for the near side rear bumper fog/break lights on offside still work as does the offside reverse light...So should I check the fuses before replacing bulbs or could it be something else? It did seem to be running low on power and a little strange too...
Its a 94' Disco V8 and the only thing I've done on her recently was replaced the rear section of the exhaust.
Thanks D.

I had something similar happen to me,
Turnt out to be a wire for the bumper lights had chaffed badly on the chassis and was shorting out causing a fuse to blow all the time.

So check and replace fuse and wait and see if it happens again then atleast I have a starting point. Cheers Rob What do you make of the engine coincidently running unusually low on power at high revs?

Yea thats what i did until i found what was causing the problem 3 weeks later
After stripping out the entire interior checking all the earths and wiring.

Iirc it also caused my engine to cut out whilst driving once or twice so could be related.

I do know that once the problem was sorted the engine didn't cut out again

Probably that exhaust melted some wires
