I wouldn't be at all surprised when that set of clownes kill somebody. Very entertaining though.

Il be there.

No seat belt is designed for a side facing seat, so I wouldn't bother with belts or put kids on a side facing seat.

If I get any more electrical problems I might look at a rewrire. At nearly 30 years old and Shyte when new, there is only so much you can repair.

So am I. Now I can get back to the task in hand. Wiring my 10 spot lights and heated screen. I've bought plug and play wiring looms and had a new accessory fuse box fitted so should be plain sailing:rolleyes:

Autolec are opposite malbrad, same yard as the plumb centre. I never thought of nd haigh. I always associate them with stereos. It's the first time I've ever taken a car to a garage, bar MOT time. I normally do everything myself but the cold, dark and landrovers awesome wiring drove me to it.

All sorted now. I took it to the lads at autolec, Huddersfield. Very good service indeed. All working great now and they've done some of the jobs that would have taken me weeks to complete, all for 200 quid. Worth every penny in my mind as the cold, dark evenings are far from ideal when playing...

If your removing them take them to a powder coaters, most offer acid dip/sand blast services.

Hi all. Please can someone recommend a good auto electrician in or near Huddersfield. Preferably well versed in landrovers, namely my 90 with 300 tdi conversion. I am at the end of my tether and not prepared to touch anything electrical on this car untill it has been put in a safe state by...

Thanks for the replies and advise. Il try them tonight. I've checked the voltage this morning after driving to work and the voltage looked a lot better. Perhaps my failing alternator was draining the battery.

Afternoon all. I've just upgraded my alternator to a 100amp jobbie on my defender with a 300tdi. On checking the voltage I'm getting nearly 15 volts at the back of the alternator but less than 13 at the battery. Am I to assume my battery is on its way out? Forgive me if it's a daft...

I've got mi sen a multi meter and been having a play. Headlights fine. Earth seems fine as does the dipped beam wiring. The problem is when I turn full beam on. Earth still seems ok but one wire has around 8.5 volts and the other 0.85 volts so I'm guessing there is a short somewhere. Now I just...

I'm guessing the headlights are fine, as after replacement with new units I've got the same problem. As for testing earths and switches I don't really know how to do it:( I was hoping for an answer along the lines of "cut the green wire and hit the ref one with the big hammer";) as that's...

That's what I thought, especially as I was still on sealed units, so. I've been to bolt on bits today and bought some shiny new crystal halogen jobbies. Still got exactly the same problem:confused:

Hi all. I've a problem with my full beam on one headlamp. Side lights - both fine Normal dipped - both fine Pull stalk to flash - left headlight flashes, right headlight stays dipped Push stalk for full beam - left headlight full beam, right headlight goes out. Can anyone help...
