Hi Redhand Sorry, there is a vin number assigned to the Q Plate but it bears no resemblance to a landrover vin issue so does not help when you are asked to give the vin. Also harness numbers like AMR2352 do not equate to the q plate. Q plates are fine if you are the builder as it means the...

Hi guys Just back fro the job and started to look into the electrical side again. Snapped up a brand new AMR2352 loom whilst away but after checking all ( i thought :confused2: ) of the connectors it seems i missed the one that goes to the voltage dim/dip unit that is mounted behind the...

Managed to get a few hours in before going back to work for 4 weeks, Upshot is all sidelights, fog and indicators are now working having run an independant earth to the chassis from rear of the new tub. However the reverse light is still not functioning ( i've tested the block switch as ok...

Just when things looked as if they were done!!!!! Connected it all back up and now seem to have lost the passenger side lights and indicators ( when switched as indicators work on hazzards). There is no click in the relay when switching left indicator on !! :blink: Will be checking...

Hi Guys Latest update - clamped a voltmeter to the engine block and ground ( 11.7v ) and then attached jumper cable from battery -ve post to the casing of the alternator ( and several other places ) and voltage completely disappeared !!!! woohoo!!!!! Obviously your thoughts on the PD and...

Update..... Removed the complete bulkhead/dash loom. With engine harness disconnected no voltage on engine but starter motor solenoid and alternator had direct 12v feed from battery positive as per most drawings. Two brown wires going to engine harness plug from alternator also live. Connect...

Thanks James Still a bit concerned about where the 11.7v is "leaking" from or is this a normal land rover thing,,??

Another thing after a few replies on this and other forums. The consensus of opinions seem to put ground strap at the front of the list. The only question I would ask is should there be a 11.7v reading on the engine to ground anyway? Surely this would mean something is shorting and installing...

Cheers guys will check later today Any ideas what point the engine should normally be earthed from? best rgds

Things just took a turn for the worse!!! Just seemed to get it all working so put dash back together and plugged the glow plug timer back in, turned on the key and heard the timer buzzing and a whiff of smoke from engine bay!!!! Long story shortened i disconnected or unplugged...

thought it was all going too well !!! Had made the mistake of checking (using a light bulb ) all the rear connectors on the chassis harness individually. Started plugging new led light fittings in and the bloody indicators all go at the same time regardless of what command is given on...

didnt know there was options !!! but Black preferably.

Hi Looking for a Defender 200-300Tdi Dash/Console with all the securing / fitting points intact. Does not have to include instruments but attachment points must be good. cheers

cheers mate will check against what is fitted tomorrow rgds Kev

Made progress today on front lights, horn, washer pump and heater fan. Still got to work out rear lights and engine side of things but more optimistic than before!! Will be running earths back to battery for as much as possible to negate old loom issues. Might be looking for some help with the...

Just as a thought, does anyone recognise the dash unit so i can marry up a new loom if needed? ie is it standard 90 200tdi or td5 etc cheers

Preaching to the converted here mate. Thought i would try to find a member that knows about this stuff first ( ie interested in Landys ). Don't mind paying but want it done right first time and there are a lot of cowboys about down here and i need someone who knows what they are doing rather...

Hi Hopefully posted in correct forum Bit of background - I bought a Q plated 90 van a couple of years ago which was supposed to be ex-military ( turned out not to be ), with a Disco engine transplant. Anyway i wanted to convert from the van to a cab/pick-up which has been done along with...

Appologies if posted in wrong place. I'm looking to replace the rear ( and front if available ) axles on my old 90 with TD5 or 300TDI axles. I would like 24 spline and must be in good condition and preferably complete. I'm based near portsmouth in Hampshire but without transport to get further...

Doh!! Sorry, meant to put the email in last post!! subsea@hotmail.com cheers Kev
