It's a 1989 90. Think I'm going to rebuild the light looms and add relays and inline fuses. The engine bay loom is spot on and the main loom is good. I've removed a lot of what I don't need like rear window bits and accessories. So I can have a basic solid loom

Thanks for the advice. There hasn't been much damage luckily. Been to get a new master light switch and checking through the loom. I have headlights ungrounded and side bulbs removed but am getting continuity between the load sides of the headlights and side light fuse connections. Only with the...

So driving home last night I had black smoke coming out of the dash. I pulled over hit the isolator switch and grabbed extinguisher. The smoke had already diminished luckily. Looks like the red cable that goes into the illumination switch was the one that went up. Melted a few other bits of...

It was my first insurance and some of the quotes I was getting were mental so I’m guessing their computer spat some mad rates out. Didn’t have any mods at the time apart from a 300 tdi swap. I just managed to get Admiral under a grand so went with that. I’m going to try AF again later in the...

Adrian Flux basically hung up on me. Was disappointed. Been with admiral for two years and they have been fine. Done a few modifications online and all gone through great.

Have you checked the breather? Mine appeared to be coming from anywhere when I was looking at the tank cover. Any leak will be impossible to trace by looking at the output once it hits a panel. Start high up and follow the fuel system. Anything that looks dodgy or can be adjusted check it...

It looks brilliant as is. Maybe some nice seats and things to improve driver comfort. The Slickshift gear selector has seemed very popular, however, I’m not sure if I should get one as I like the character of the long and jangly gear changes. I have a smaller steering wheel, a Momo from...

I had a nasty diesel leak that would drip. Sure as hell could smell it in the morning. Just nipped up the hose clips and it’s been perfect ever since. It was the first time I really filled it up. And going by the miles on the MOT I don’t think it had been doing many long journeys for a while...

I will do. Going to replace the switch either way as I had starting problems because of it before last summer. Cheers

Yeah that orange thing. It looks quite old school and OEM, as well as looking like a Lego gem piece. I was worried it was some sort of glow plug activator or important device. Cheers. It pulls in and out so I’ll just leave it be for now and pretend it’s my nephews ejector seat button

I’ve googled it and searched my manuals in case I make a fool of myself by asking. But it’s been bugging me for far too long.

Thanks mate. I’ve just been going over loads of wiring in the engine bay and I’m going to start rewiring this weekend. I’ve had some earth issues in the past and just need to sort it all properly and replace everything with the correct coloured wires at least. Runs like a dream otherwise so it’s...

Mine is very obviously removed. It’s not covered etc. I had my MOT done at a Land Rover garage in January I think and while I was in reception there was someone there having theirs removed. I was worried as I’d have to pay to have it put back on. But it passed fine, well failed on a dodgy...

hi guys, been doing some electrical tinkering last weekend and my engine is running on for about 3-5 seconds after the key is turned off. The voltage on the fuel stop solenoid is 0v no key in 12v key in and turned to ignition 0v straight away if key is turned off without turning engine on 0v...

Where are you based?

I was hoping to hear that. Thanks so much. I think the same

Looks like a crack? The second injector location is the same. Or is it just how they are?

I use plastic and metal push fit fittings with industrial machinery and rate them really highly. polyurethane 8mm OD 6mm will be fine. Just be careful of high temps, and possible kinks if you are routing over moving parts. Also plastic is good as you can cut and modify on the fly for very little...

Thanks guys. It might look too nice for a trayback at the moment but by the time I get round to doing it it will be 2050 and I’ll be sent to the lithium mines for owning a diesel. I’ll be sure to be as helpful as possible and I’ll hang on to my spares until I can let guys know to get them.

Alright everyone, I have a 1988 90 and love it to bits. Used the threads on here to sort a lot of electrical stuff and slowly work my way to building my dream vehicle. (Mad trayback/service truck dvla nightmare) Hope I can be even a fraction of the help I’ve received so far. Does anyone know...
