Hello, Are there any friendly owners with a diagnostics kit (hawkeye/nanocom) that can hook up and help me trace a fault...think it could be an injector starting to break down (I hAve already replaced many items and now at a loss). I am near to Newport in South Wales. Thanks Phil

Apparently, the genuine LAnd Rover switch is also momentary and that is what Carling is emulating. Yup.....wish I had just gone for the on-off switch, but when you see an article advertised as a fog switch......... I just want to know how to wire the carling switch and related relay should be...

trying to wire my fog lamps properly with a Carling Fog off-MOM switch and relay. When I press the mom switch the fogs come on when I let go the fogs go off. Do I need a specific relay (latching) or am I just wiring incorrectly. Does anybody have a wiring diagram utilising the carling off-MOM...

Excellent....thanks all!

Purchased the pucker 12N towing socket for my 2003 Defender only to find there is no multiplug on the vehicle harness to connect it to. The wires are there just no connector. Rather than just cut the end off of the newly purchased part, I would like to install the proper connector onto the...

It seems that everything I open something up on my expensive defender from a supposed Land Rover specialist. Now looking at my rear speakers and no speaker wires. So I want run speaker wires from my head unit. Question is best route to run the wires to the rear. Its a Station Wagon. Whats...

Thanks Mcclegend, useful site...I will analyse more. Good questions, I hadnt thought of wiring them in seperate clusters, which would reduce the load on the cables......... Thanks Zeaphod....Yep 3mm was my thought....good tips. Cheers Phil

Hi All, Planning my Light Bar build and apart from the metal fabrication (and avoiding the plastic jobby snorkel), I would like some advice with regards to wiring the lights. I have five 55 watt lamps to mount and want to make sure that I use the correct rated cable. Using the I=P/V formula...

Has anybody seen the latest stunt by Land Rover who have made a 1 km silhouette in the sand to highlight the launch of the 2015 Special Editions? That particular silhouette looks fantastic and really identifies the marque. I reckon if the silhouhette was reproduced as a sticker, it would be...

Happy New Year to all (a few days early) Can I have a new key cut for my 2003 TD5 Defender 90....or do I need a special from Land Rover with a transponder in it???? Thanks in advance Phil

Thanks for that. I suppose just check the sensors with a multimeter? Cheers Phil

I removed my Instrument panel at the weekend to change the bulbs (from horrible blue ones to green LED). I decided to clean everything up, removed the gauges, tidied the loom up and cleaned all the crud out. Whilst taking it apart, I took the warning lamp panel out…shock horror, two places...

The exact reverse here in France....bought my blank off ebay and tootled off to the french equivalent of Timpsons and received a NON ! .... they will not cut anybody elses key blanks and say that they can only use their own !!!! I'll wait until I visit England for the Xmas holidays and get my...

I agree it is a big improvement over the pre 2002 arrangement, but there are some excellent aftermarket dash options available that give a wider scope to change the switches and radio and instruments....I am looking for that type of option.

Brilliant...thanks for the responses. Now that you have given me the confidence re. the M10, I will run a tap through it... I have found so many missing or loose bolts on my 90....even if it was advertised as a complete nut and bolt rebuild, shame they didn't use all the bolts or even the...
