Nope, no radio fitted. Why would you want a radio in a defender? you would never be able to hear it anyway! I do have a few spare wires sitting in the dash area though but have already tried moving them around. This is going to be hard to find because it only happens when driving along

Sorry about the delay everyone but have been away for a couple of weeks. OK now everything is working just fine....except top left fuse, horn interior light and headlight flashers. Just to make things even worse this fuse only blows when mobile. when the vehicle is standing still everything is...

Another update, Got the indicators and brake lights working again.. The fault with them was in the indicator hazard switch. BUT.....I still have to leave the top left fuse out (interior light, horn etc). If we put that fuse back in the indicators go mad and stay on or not work at all. So I am...

Hi Guys. here's an update of what's happened so far. I got a mate to take a look at the landy and up to now he has got the indicators and the brake lights to work so things are looking up! Only problem is...... he has to leave to top left fuse out (interior light, horn etc). If we put that fuse...

I'll post it on here as soon as i get it all cleaned. Hospital appointment tomorrow but should get time in the aternoon

Thanks for the info JP. I'll get out there tomorrow morning and clean everything up. Hopefully this will sort the problem out. Still don't really see how this could affect the fuel temp/gauge though but i'll take your advice and try it. Thanks again

Just another thought came to me. When i picked up a heavy trailer the other day the fog light cm on and stayed on till the trailer was put down. Didn't have the electrics connected to the trailer at any time either.

Being a complete dumb nut where can i find where all the earth straps are??

Earth problem would seem to be about right....but.....where the hell do I start???

:mad: This problem is doing me in 1990 Defender 110 electrics problem. Can someone please help as i am at my wits end here. My dear old defender has a minor electrical problem in that the indicators, horn, hazard lights fuel gauge, temp gauge etc.....in fact, everything except the...

Hi again guys and gals. Another problem with my 2.5td. After sorting out the problems with smoke and misfire by re conditioning the injection pump (alls well now thank god) i now have a really noisy air filter. It sounds like one of those mobile compressors, popping and sucking. dificult to...

This is a final update for all you guys who have been reading this post and coming up with some ideas about the problem. At long last i have got the injection pump back from being refurbished. Fitted it last night and lo and behold.......no smoke, no misfiring!!!. The pump was full of rust and...

Hi Garybrun, Thanks for the tip about the Exhaust gas release valve. I'll certainly have a look at that. BUT!!! seeing as i have never even heard of an EGR please can you tell me where to find it and what it looks like? Thanks in advance Richard

Hi Banzia, No one seems to have a spare pump that i can try. I'm gonna get the pump refurbed at a cost of around £80. (friend doing it. thats why it's so "cheap"). Pump to engine timing is spot on so i know it's not that. Last time i changed the fuel filter there was a small amount...

Crankcase breather and related pipes and hoses are all ok............... Pulling my hair out on this one now..........still......tomorrows another day... Maybe a large hammer or petrol and matches may help!!!!!!!

Hi again, The new engine came from "Turner Engineering", maybe you have heard of them. reputable re built landrover engine company. Yes it's the pump from the old engine and the garage who fitted the engine timed up the pump. I'm having the injectors tested on Tuesday but they are relativly new...

Thanks for that information. Next question though is :: is there any difference between the turbo and non turbo injection pump on the 2.5 diesel?? Only the guy who has this pump for sale doesn't know which one it's from.

I can't see that it could be the head gasket because the same thing was happening to the old engine before i replaced it. Any other ideas would be much appreciated, but i'm going to get the injector pump checked out as a next step. Thanks again

Desperatly seeking a 1990 defender 110 2.5 turbo diesel injector pump. If anyone has one or knows of someone who has one for sale i would very much appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Richard

Hi again, This has had me and a couple of garages bafflesd for some time now. The only oil i'm losing is from a small leak, but it is losing a SMALL amount of water. It's more the misfiring at startup and until the temp reaches normal that i'm worried about. One guy told me to look for oil in...
