Hi all I'm struggling to find which timing belt kit I need to order, my problem is that on the Website it states Defender 300TDI from VA117354 (1994 on) Or Defender 300TDI to VA117353 (1986 to 1994) Now looking at my owners manual I can't find any reference to the above mentioned codes. I...

Hi all I have had a bit advice recently thanks for that, here's a couple photos of fender, both pics taken within a week of each other at the same lane. Last weekend Today I'm Jamie by the way

Probably not yours but it caught my eye. Ebay this HTML class. Value is 172003755175

Yes this is what I wanted to do both kill the ignition and isolate the battery, however what I decided to do was totally different, I really appreciate all the input. Many thanks Jamie

Thanks for the suggestions I will keep them in mind for this weekend I'm sure I can come up with a something.

To be honest I think I'm just looking into it far to much, I think a standard isolator will do just fine. Your right there if they want it they will have it away anyway they can.

Stuck lol

I think I'm slowly getting this please correct me if not. Can I cut into existing + wire currently connected to battery for the alternator supply or should I be wiring a new wire from switch to alternator supply?

I have been on to 2 local auto electricians both of which have no idea what I'm talking about one of which tried to sell me a Thatcham 1 alarm and immobiliser, looks like it is a job for me after all, so if you would be so kind as to describe where the alternator supply and load resister should...

I thought I was but this may be slightly out of my comfort zone, a trip to an auto electrician may be in order but thanks for your help

Thank you, just to clarify what I want to do is attach an extra wire to the solenoid and run it to the isolator leaving the original wire attached? Or cut into the original wire? Thanks again

Sorry yeah it's a 300tdi 90

Hi all, my job for the upcoming weekend is to install a battery isolator switch, I was going to go for the highly recommended FIA approved isolator, I would need to run a cable from the the ignition to the isolator and would like to know where's the best place to to take the ignition from. I'm...

For anyone interested it turned out to be a bad interior light causing the above mentioned problems, thanks for all the help Jamie.

Thanks ks for all the advice, starting this weekend will post my findings

Will do thanks, what I have found so far is that the motion of selecting the reverse gear and back to neutral knocks off the fault, this weekend I will loosen off the fuse box to inspect, I think I will also check the electrical connections on and around the top of the gear box (reverse...

Everything apart from the interior light with exception of the horn

Hi all, new to the forum but on my 2nd defender.. Having recently bought this defender I'm now finding it has a few minor problems. All started when I when to press the horn pulling up the front of our house to show the kids daddy's new toy, (no horn) simple fix I thought. Into the fuse box and...
