    I’ve never worried about which way round the yokes get put back on. As long as you haven’t pulled the sliding halves apart they will still be phased correctly. Happy to be corrected! 😀

    Not LED! Fixed - the earth wire was cracked in the loom and causing the issue.

    I'm going to suggest a high resistance earth causing the issue, (its always the earths with a land rover :rolleyes: ) enough of a circuit to register on the meter but not enough to actually power anything. Try a good either direct to something...

    Spooky, 🤔. Is the bulb trying to draw more power than the wires are sending, but they have enough power to work the multi meter. If you had a length of wire run from the front indicator to the rear and see if that will flash the bulb then you...

    I’ve omitted the connectors, literally down to the wires. Flashing 12v with a multimeter (analog), nothing with wires contacting bulb (nothing via connector either). Multiple, good bulbs tested.

    Sounds like the connections on the holder are at fault somehow. Not making contact correctly If you swap the osr over to nsr, does it work?

    No, not another “I’ve fitted LEDS and my lights are doing funny things” thread. I bought some “modern” sealed (ish) indicator units to replace the crappy original ones in the ‘87 110. Simple enough job to swap them over…not. Got them all working...

    To be fair to them, it’s not just for Landies, and about 50% of what the Landy stalls were selling needed to be weighed in! 😂 I have a small list of parts to find each time, but I also go just for a jolly. My top find today (and probably...

    Looks like a good one. I’ve just purchased the Defender edition, only to realise the email address on my billing details is no longer accessible by me, doh! I’ve contacted them and hopefully they’ll sort it out.

    Chinese imports by European and UK brand at European prices just more profit and to hell with the quality as the Chinese cut the corners for the same reasons greed is rife and we are the mugs paying for it

    Now fitted, tensioned up nicely with ease and on my own. Just need to see how well it performs and keeps Tension now. But that needs to wait until my injection pump is no longer pouring fuel out the side of it!
