Go get it then @kevstar

She does look clean from outside! Manual? you want to add pics of boot floor, arches, inner wings, body mounts, rear crossmember, pillar bottoms etc to get one of us to get our wallet out mate 👍🏻

The 'power to the injector pump' actually goes to a solenoid/switch that opens when the ignition is turned on (and 12V is supplied) and closes (cutting off the fuel to the pump) when the ignition is turned off and 12V is removed. It's what stops...

The small pipe is fuel leak off pipe to the pump. I sent you a pm but basically you need to check for fuel going to lift pump, going to filter, going to injection pump. It needs continuous 12v at stop solenoid to let fuel through. When you are...

I’m sure defenders got this also. Don’t ask me where the one is for my resto. It’s in a really safe place that even I’m not allowed to know

Under the panel under your steering wheel there’s satellite fuse box. Should be labelled on the back of the panel mate. Got a little box strapped to it called your MFU which controls courtesy light timings etc

Great detective work!!! 👍🏻

Hi all, I was able to solve the problem with my EDC TDI it was the satellite 2 fuse 3 it was so corroded and only receiving 3V, after some cleaning, it is now running. Thanks all!

Don’t know why this has just come up for me but I’ll put all my edc stuff for sale on here shortly when I go through the shed as I’ve got the injectors, pump etc 👍🏻 PM me if of interest and I’ll let you know when I list it 👍🏻

Sorry for your loss. Lovely that you have something to remember him by. Restoration is a massive process, full of triumph, pain, cuts and dust. Have a look at Steve’s thread in the projects section - he’s been restoring one last few years. If...

Welcome to the Landyzone. Worth keeping it original, as you can put your own stamp on it and remember your dad fondly. Have a chat with the Series section for best advice on approaching repairs and spares. Local clubs are worth a shout for help...

Sorry for your loss. We understand it’s not just a car but part of the family. Plenty of help and advice available in the Series section. Welcome to LandyZone

Excellent purchase. Just stuck them in

9.5mm drillbit locking hole I bet 😂

Yes you can on the steering box. Either take wheel off and repostion Rotate/Move the steering arm off the lower steering tube Or undo the 2 ujs & reposition steering wheel in correct place(think 1 of the UJs has a wide locating spline,so spin &...

Oh maybe a BMC and some pioneer lines too if they can’t stiffen the brakes up a bit

Yes! Previous owner started it and it made me chuckle so I continued. She’s still being used daily!!! Current observations ideas are: Think my leaks gone since doing rocker cover and cyclone Steering wheel still needs straightening - I’m...

Had to be very careful not to clean my service history off!!

Pig was meant to be a pig. I bloody love this car though 😂 best 2k I ever spent (the hole in the pocket after purchase doesn’t count - that’s just disco tax)

Just another headliner being refurbed 😂👍🏻

Next up, deja vu..

Had its new windscreen other day so it leaks again 😂

Prolly a panel that heats up and then the earth touches and makes the circuit again ... Usual Landy thing, check, clean and re-secure the earths ...

Ok. As it’s working all is good… Wait till the winter it will go again

Been doing little stuff while I’ve not had a chance to get gas. Also been doing bits on pig. So much corrosion was on rear quarter. I dug it all out, then epoxy primered, then filler, then etched the bare stuff then dolphin glaze. Stripped rear...

No idea!

It works again now so we will pretend it never happened

No. So unless there is a timer unit somewhere set at 10 minutes 🤔 then I would suspect an iffy light switch or intermittent wiring connection.

Not sure how the engine fan can come on before the engine starts? Unless I am misreading something?

Bet I’m being an absolute clown and have knocked the ac on. I cut the belt so forgot I had it 😂😂
