I bought a 90 (1987) about 3 months ago. It hs a 200tdi Disco conversion. Reason I went for this is due to the fact my mate can do virtually anything that needs doing. He's old school and was brought up with Land rovers. He doesn't have all the smoke and mirrors test kit so doesn't do a lot with...

You are correct, there is an on/off switch, I should have gone to specsaver ;) Its a multifunction switch.... This white wire, is it one that comes on with the ignition lights or when the key is set to the Accessory setting do you know? I have the permanent live and everything set, i'd just like...

:5bcheers2:

It has all those but the switched live only comes on with ign lights. If it isn't going to burn anything out or cause issues then fair enough. Perhaps i'm being over cautious!

If i'm sat in it waiting for SWMBO to come out of Tesco with all the cider, i want to be able to sit and listen to the radio without all the lights on, i'm sure if you do this with a petrol engine it buggers the coil up? I know mine is a diesel but assume there could be something within the...

I've wired my radio in to a switched live but it has to have the ignition on full, i.e. all the dash lights lit. Does anyone know if there is an 'Accessory' live to anything? IE live to the key turn before the glow plugs etc come on? Ive checked with a meter but can't find anything and by all...

Theres headlining at the front, above the driver/passenger seats but I don't think it is deep enough to take the speakers?

Bought some Halfords speakers when I bought the 90. Only thing is they are door type speakers and I don't think they will fit in the doors (The panels are riveted in place so i've not actually taken them off to see yet).....still have too much on with the rest of it at the moment. So, the...

Just off out to try and change the speedo cable!!

Trying to source a new one for my '87 LR90....that isn't Britpart!

Follow the -ve cable from the battery and check for corrosion/poor connection on the other end.

Have you dropped him a PM as a gentle reminder?

My 90 has what i think are rock sliders or tree sliders....something. SWMBO has decided when wet these are slippery to use as a step and wants me to put something on it to make it less slippery. I was thinking of a plate on the 1st bit. Checkerplate came to mind but that could well be slippery...

I assume if it has 3 contacts you will need 3 relays as it will have 3 zones. I was told on the weekend the ones with 2 contacts have 2 zones that work with separate relays. I assume 3 means each zone draws less current individually?? (This is an assumption though)

When cleaning with gunk etc does it stain the drive when being washed off? I have a concrete drive and don't really want to make a mess of that yet ;)

Do the guys fitting it not know?

Thanks TJ, Search just isn't my friend, it always seems to return stuff that isn't relevant to what i'm searching for. The dash is all apart so it should be a fairly simple job, i'll do another search for your thread though. Thanks for posting the problem you found with the auto cancel...

Took it for its 1st half decent run, only about 30 smiles but very enjoyable.....Put diesel in the tank to ensure the gauge was working....Speedo not working, don't think I was going very fast as there was a few cars behind me :) but who cares....its 27 years old and needs treating with care...

My indicator stalk doesn't self cancel, before i purchase a replacement I wondered if this was a common issue that 'They all do that' and its not worth buying a replacement. Is it much of a job replacing one and whilst I have it apart is there anything else i could change at the same time?

Cheers Chr1s, that looks ideal and not too bad a price either :5bcheers2:
