Perfect, that's all i need to know. Thanks very much for the information 👍

Good evening all, this is more than likely going to be a stupid question but here goes. Is a defender 90 rear head liner the same size as a 110 rear head liner. I may be wrong but looking at pictures the 110 is in 3 sections and the rear part looks very similar if not the same as the 90? Many...

Sounds perfect mate 👍

Blimey thats cheap lynall!!o_O I will give them a try👍 many thanks

Good afternoon all, I have just completed a re-build of my 1997 300tdi defender, I already have a 1969 series 2a and was wondering if there is a insurance company someone could recommend who offers a multi-car cover? If there is such a thing? Many thanks.:)

Good morning all,I just wanted to post an update of my vehicle charging woes. It has turned out to be a faulty alternator, being a new unit I assumed it to be good and it was my wiring causing the issue. I should have trusted my own work and looked a bit harder at the alternator. New alternator...

Brilliant Mystery, thank you for that. I will let you know how it goes!!:D

Thanks Mystery, I will be having another look at it this evening and spending all day tomorrow on it,just hope i can find the issue🤞🤞

Cheers Kermit, I was thinking along the same lines regarding the diode. When b and d are bridged the light goes out and charges normally. I think for the cost of it I might as well just change the diode just piece of mind.

What i mean is where does the 12v originate from to feed the circuit? I also know there is a resistor and a diode in the circuit behind the dash but not sure if these would cause the issue.

So with the d+ wire disconnected from the alternator,there is 12v at the terminal. Once the terminal is back on the alternator and engine running it measures approximately 2v,obviously not enough to excite the field coils. It seems like a poor connection maybe? I just cant find where the 12v...

The alternator has to be okay I'm guessing because it charges fine when the d+ is excited (12v). Its just a case of finding the missing feed(i think).

Thanks Kermit,my alternator has b+ battery/starter cable,d+ field coil exciter and warning lamp, white wire for rev counter i believe.

Hi all and thanks for your help,much appreciated. I am writing this from the front seat of my 90 still trying to work out what feeds the brown/yellow at the bulb to put it out when running and also excite the alternator? If i put my power probe at brown/yellow and give it 12v when running, the...

Thanks Mystery, i do have have something very similar too thanks. Going to have another play this evening.
