I'm not good with electrics, the wire doesnt seem brittle?t all wires back together, still nothing except battery light? Tried using my jump lead as earth from battery to chassis & I got lights, horn hazards. Turn key, battery light goes out & glow plug light gets brighter?? Still not turning...

Thanks lads for all the ideas. Iv'e spent ages today as last result i started tracing the wiring from the fuse box inside the cab through the dash & guess what? Where it's been stood for two years mice have chewed through most of the bloody wiring behing the dash!!! So looks like pulling the...

Cheers I'll let you know tomorrow night as I'm going up to try again tomorrow pm. Thanks a lot for the help.

Thanks I'll try all that tomorrow. Battery definatly good it was taken off my sprinter afer driving up there, so there are fuses in the engine bay? I didnt spot them, as I said don't know if it makes a difference but it's a hi capacity on a D plate so 1986/7. Thanks for the help

No, he said he drove it to back of his bungalow & parked up cos hanbrake cable wanted changing. Before he got chance to do it he fell ill. It's been there about two years but he took battery off almost straight away so not corroded? I'm at a loss with it? Just wandered cos some vehicles have a...

Just went to pick up a Hi capacity 110 I'm buying off a mate. It's been stood a good while as he's been unwell. Put a fresh battery on it but nothing at all, no lights, no ignition no horn etc etc. Do they have a "mane" fuse i.e 20 or 30amp that may have gone? It's doing my head in. I checked...

Well worth thinkig about, thanks for that.

Yeh there is, it's as i thought then a no no.

Looking at a hi capacity 110 pick up. Is it possible to put a van roof & sides on it? It looks to be in good condition & it's cheap from a mate but I dont realy want a pick up as it's a good price i'd be happy to change the back. I know its fairly easy on a normal pick up. Sure someone knows. ta

Still cant find an axle.:eek:

With the wheels off the floor I can turn the prop almost half a revalution before the wheels move? Iv'e been led to believe that you need specialist tools too change the diff in a salisbury axle anyway? Thats why I was after an axle. Hope that makes sense, as I said I'm a novice when it comes to...

Cheers for that, we do need to find a decent one & if we have to wait a day or two so be it.

Thanks for that, yeh Iv'e been told it's a salisbury axle? Bloke that checked it for me today said there's far too much play in it and to try & replace it.

I'm quite a novice, do they fit? would it cock up the gearing etc?

Anyone got a rear axle for a 110 defender, it's on an N plate so 300tdi. Collection not a problem but do need one quickly. Cash on collection. Thanks.
