Nobber, as mentioned earlier it all started with the alarm going of at random intervals during the night and I'm now in the position of not being able to start the vehicle after removing the alarm sounder. Regarding your comments Wimblowdriver The key-fob is attached to the key and the fob...

The current situation is that the vehicle will not start. Having difficulty in tracing the fault without upsetting the neighbours so I disconnected the alarm sounder, as whatever I tried didn’t shut the bugger up - including removing all associated fuses and a relay. The only way to stop it is...

Point taken but they would have to move two other vehicles which are both alarmed before getting to it. I was wrong when I said there was no BBUS sounder, I obviously hadn't tried standing on my head before searching for it!! I haven't been able to work on it today but following on from all the...

Many thanks for all your info & suggestions. Just to add a little more detail – I’ve charged the battery up recently during the time it’s been standing for a few weeks, and regarding the BBUS, if it would be a similar looking unit to the one on my Disco3 then there isn’t one on this defender...

Thanks for that lightning. So am I looking for short as the alarm was not on in the first place?

Evenin’ all Any electrical wizards familiar with the defender TD5 alarm system out there? My vehicle has been standing for a few weeks while I do a few jobs to prepare it for sale. During all this time the alarm has not been armed. Last night the alarm went off at random intervals with the...

Hope the attached pics will help to identify it. Thanks

Never thought about the heating aspect. I'll upload a picture later of the wiring.

Well that sounds emphatic and conclusive. Just what I needed. Many thanks

Evenin' All I bought a driver's side door mirror for my Dicsco 3 to replace mine that had been clipped by a van, since when it had refused to lock in position. Before it arrived I managed to repair the original one and never actually fitted the new one. I'm thinking of selling it but I need to...

Thanks all for your input. I'll copy the potential buyer with your replies.

Just been skipping through a load of defender ads. on Autotrader and it appears that the middle seat is almost extinct. Most of the photos of the interiors show the bespoke cubby box/cup holder arrangement. Maybe I should put the seat aback in mine and advertise it as a very rare example of the...

Many thanks for that. I'm trying to recall whether the later models actually had a middle seat at all. I must try to be more observant.

Evening experts A guy in Germany is considering buying the middle front seat off my 2000 Reg Defender for his 2004 model He obviously needs to know if it's compatible without hacking it about. I can't find a part number on mine other than the original manufacturer's label Lear 9942 Does anyone...

Evening all Disco 3 key fob in a sad state, the membranes had disintegrated probably due to previous owner operating the switches with their nails. I bunged a bit of mastic in there and it worked for a few months until it failed altogether. Thought I’d have a go at repairing it, managed to...

I also have a leaking Defender TD5 from somewhere at the top of the tank. I've downloaded a manual for Defenders from 1996 onward and it shows just one connection on the top (The spill return) I've seen a video of a pump replacement showing all the pipes on the top of the tank. I guess my manual...

You probably get what you pay for, but I had an airbag warning light on my Disco 3 and after having it checked by an auto electrician using a diagnostic tool that apparently cost £4000 that didn’t pinpoint the problem, I bought a dedicated Landrover tool (iCarsoft i930) for £95 and sorted it out...
